I last weighed the Sprinter in June of 2008. I thought 
I better do it again and since it is all loaded, fuel, oil, water, propane (yes, I topped it off), fire wood etc. for this weekend today was the day. I even had Presley, the dog, loaded for a accurate weight.
I suspected I would have “weight creep” where little by little you add things to the must carry list and eventually you pick up a couple of hundred poounds. I went to the same scale that weighed me last time with the same person still working there. I was surprised at the outcome.
| June 2008 | October 2009 | Owners Manual | |
| GAVR FF | 3380 lbs | 3380 lbs | 3970 lbs |
| GVWR | 7680 lbs | 7640 lbs | 8550 lbs |
| GAVR RR | 3960 lbs | 3980 lbs | 5360 lbs |
I did not have much of a change which is great. I have 910 pounds to play with for driver/navigator, more stuff in the fridge, extra water, extra fuel, chains, etc. Need to carry more? Another great reason for me to loose some weight!
