2018 Pace Arrow empty weight

Does anyone know the empty weight of a 2018 Pace Arrow 38K?
I would like to tow a crew cab Silverado that tips the scale at 5600#
I also tow a Ford Edge and a Wrangler TJ, the Silverado would be towed to Fl for the winter most of the time we tow the Edge or the wrangler

I believe you'll need to know all the weights; GVWR , GCWR and the trailer tow capacity and hitch rating , to be sure that the coach will handle the truck as a toad.

According to the specs, the 38K has a towing capacity of 10,000#, so chances are that you will be ok towing the Silverado, but you should weigh the coach fully loaded to set the tire pressures correctly, and then you will know for sure whether you can tow it.

The problem is that the coach hasn't weighed its "empty weight" (UVW) since it left the factory. By the time it was delivered to you, it gained some water and a bit of gear (hoses and such), and you have no doubt added more. Maybe only a few hundred lbs, but more like substantially more. Surely you have some pots & pans, clothing and gear onboard, even if not actively camping in it? Get it to a scale and weigh it as it is now and compare that to the 33,000 lb GCWR.

The factory UVW and CCC will be listed on the federal certification placard on each specific coach. That will give you a rough idea of the actual max tow (the difference between UVW and GCWR, but since the coach will surely have a driver and water and gear and likely at least one passenger, the factory UVW isn't of much value.
