I was sold a Cougar 29SGS as 1/2 ton towable but when I loaded up for a weeks trip and put on the scales the pin weight was just over 2000 lbs with all waste and water tanks empty. The spec says the dry pin weight is 1675.
The crucial term here is "DRY" pin weight. That tells you that it weighs a lot more because it doesn't include the options put on by the manufacturer, add-ons by the dealer, or anything at all that you put in the trailer. Whenever you have a DRY pin weight, you need to figure it will weigh at least 40% more when ready to camp.
