04 Notes on this floorplan
What Vanleigh does not publish for the Vilano 390LK
Vanleigh prints no tire size, interior height, grey-tank, black-tank, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
14,100 lb dry and 18,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 14,400 lb and 18,500 lb.
14,995 lb dry and 18,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 14,400 lb and 18,500 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
Cargo capacity on the Vilano 390LK is 4,100 lb.
No source publishes a tongue weight for the Vilano 390LK, so its hitch load has to come from a scale ticket taken with the trailer hitched.
