Need Help with Small Toy Hauler Purchase

I won't say that all sales persons lie, but over the years the RV industry often dramatically fudged weight numbers. I think it's improved but it's still not totally trustworthy. Dealership could get it weighed, or they may have portable scales already. You can request this be done as part of an offer, by making it contingent.

The other factor is your vehicle limit of 5k might be less fuel and passengers. Is that number coming from your hitch rating or the door sticker?
