If you mean a Westy Weekender, I can help!  These figures are from DOT truck
scales and are the same in BC and Washington.

My '84 GL 7 passenger is about 3400 lbs

My '86 Weekender Dixie completely empty is 3850 lbs.

Unladen with Jake (190)  & Maiken (135) and two 10 lb propane tanks up top
and tools under the front seats etc.

Front:  2376 lbs
Rear:   1936 lbs
Total:  4312 lbs


With Jake & Maiken, instruments, sleeping gear & overnight bags

Front:  2400 LBS
Rear:   2060 LBS
Total:  4450 LBS

With all of the above plus provisions for the two of us for 5 days,
including plenty of beer, food and water

Total:  4960 lbs
