What would you say is a typical or average glider trailer weight? I
know, "it depends"... but what is typical?

I'm shopping for a new vehicle and will buy one that I could use if I
crew for someone or to move our club gliders around. Gliders that I
have moved around range from 450 to 850 pounds. I don't own a glider
myself so I've don't know what the trailers weigh. What's the weight
range for typical fiberglass or metal-frame-aluminum-skin glider
trailer?

(I've seen lots of discussion on RAS about towing in general... not
asking for vehicle or towing advice.)

Thanks in advance.

I have an ASW 19 with a Minden Trailer (wooden floor) and the scales
come in at just shy of 1800lbs and a 180lb tongue weight. The empty
weight of the 19 is 575lbs.
I too was suprised at the weight of the trailer, I expected the total
to be around 1100- 1400lbs.
