1). unload everything from the 5'er...everything. no cargo of any sort.
2). empty the tanks of water, fuel, lp. water = 8lbs/gal, gas = 6lbs/gal, lp = 4lbs/gal
3). weigh the 5'er and compare to the mfg dry weights.
the only thing that makes sense is the factory weights you have are wrong.
I'm pretty sure Grand Design weighed it. The 13,400 number is from their web site, but the sticker by the propane door gives a precise number that is slightly less than 13,400.
I'm going to call them Monday and find out. If they did, then I can empty the fresh water and take it over the scales. That will tell me how much cargo we have.
Also, thanks for pointing out that gas is 6 pounds per gallon. Good catch.
