what is the weight of a 78 nomad trailer
A Hitch in Time - 1978 is rated/received certificates of: UK:U
The 1978 Glendette 290 Standard Travel Trailer or the Glendette Deluxe 290 Travel Trailer by Glendale Corp. Strathroy, Ontario. The dry weight is estimated at 4718 lbs and the dry hitch weight is estimated at 562 lbs. This info comes out of 1987 Glendette brochure for model 295. From 1977 to 1992 the construction of the Glendette travel trailer was pretty much standard. Taking the specs out of a 1987 brochure would be really no different then a 1978 model which would have been the 290 model. This would be the closest model number for a 28' trailer in that year. If it is a Glendette Deluxe with molded ABS front and back add about 400lbs to the dry weight because of the moulded front and back as well as the heavier cabinetry inside the trailer. For gross weight the Glendette of this size would have had axles rated for 6500 to 7000lbs combined. This would allow for a cargo carrying estimate of approximately 1700 to 2200 pounds maximum. There should be a sticker on the road side of the unit indicating this in kg. Also in one of the cabinets inside there should be a manufacturer's unit fact sheet with this same info. The best advice is to take your Glendette to a truck weigh scale and weigh it empty to see how accurate the mfg information was in the brochure. The difference if any will also affect the hitch weight of your unit. A hitch weight is 10 to 15% of the units actual weight .
the weight classification is posted on both the manufacturer's information tag affixed to the (generally left side, rear) trailer, and the title / registration.
I believe it is 1500lbs with a maximum hitch weight of 350lbs.
