Yes, I have had the brochure printed out. The salesman read the yellow sticker inside the coach and that is what was printed on there. It has a generator already installed, 2 A/Cs, etc. Even the brochure stated 1,749 is pretty low. The 2010 allows 2,749 CCC, so something went whacko in 2009, it appears.
With the numbers being equal except the first, How about considering it a typo?
I believe that the CA law requirement is what caused them to alter the numbers to underrate the GVWR, and thus the CCC to match...intentional, rather than a typo.
BTW...does law enforcement stop 5ers on the road to check their GVWR to see if they have exceeded the yellow sticker limits?
Travelnutz is correct with all the calculations he's posted. The CCC of that trailer is higher than you now think. That said, I don't think it would hurt to have the salesman look at the yellow sticker again to see if it was misread or if there's a faint 1 or 2 in front of what he said before.
There's nothing hinky about underrating the GVWR to allow more people to purchase without special licenses, extra registration fees, etc. It's been done in the truck business for as long as there have been GVWR's.
