Comparing Weights Brochure vs. Shipped Yellow Sticker

It's raining and nothing better to do so I thought I'd post this actual sticker compare. I see questions all the time about how to plan for a tow vehicle based on the mfg. published weights. In my sample, note that I had added factory options for slide covers and a couple of leveling jacks. I'm posting this as a link to jpg I put together. Hope it works.

I think it is pretty good, compared to what people often claim. The main thing to me is the GVWR is right, and that cargo carrying was actually understated. Shipping weight listing on the brochure seems to be an anomaly as it obviously doesn't jive with cargo and GVWR.

By the stories you hear on forums it is usually like: "All I had was fresh water and I was 200 lbs over the stated GVWR on the scale!"
