Oooh....thank you. Yes, it seems Wildwood puts the dry weight on the camper whereas my Nomad and some others I've looked at show the GVWR. Industry standards world be lovely!
Samanthahhi, when sizing any trailer for your truck to tow, a good rule of thumb is to look at the GVWR of the trailer. Make sure the tow vehicle has a tow rating greater than the GVWR of trailer. The empty weight listed on trailers does not include options/propane tanks, etc., and are always lighter than the trailer actually is.
