my 88 GL non-camper weighs in at 3640 lbs (with some junk inside)
and full fuel (that's almost 100 lbs by itself: a full tank is 16
gallons at 6 lbs/gallon). my 87 GL camper hit the scales at 3960
lbs, with full fuel and no junk. so i'd figure your 83.5
watercooled to be about the same. then the white paint adds
another 100 lbs. :)

my 85 gl Westi should be pretty close, the only difference that I
know of from your post is that I have a second battery...  had mine on 2
state certified scales here and got 3960lbs on both scales...  that is
unloaded, no water in tank, and near full tank of gas.  Hope that helps...

Thanks folks!  If I have any problems being overweight at the truck scales,
I'll move the engine lid to the tow vehicle :)
