[a/s] Wt. of Excella 500

[PHS5V@xxxxxxx]

    Hi, my name is Phyllis, and I'm a new member.
    My husband and I are shopping around for our first trailer, and we are 
very tempted by a 1975 31' Excella 500.  For now we have only the owner's 
word that the unit's fully loaded weight is 6,000 lbs.  Does that sound 
right?  We spent a lot of time looking at new fifth wheels with slideouts, 
until we snapped out of it, and when compared with their 12,500+ weights, 
6,000 seems unbelievable.  Feedback on that and any other aspects of the 
Excella 500s would be appreciated.  Thanks.
