I don't know why, but that published dry weight is not correct for my trailer. When I towed my it off of the dealer's lot with all water tanks empty and propane tanks full, I took it next door to the CAT scales and had it weighed. It weighed 6020 lbs. A few weeks later, I loaded with most of our camping gear that we now carry and took it to that same scales. It weighed 6460 lbs. My current trip to south Georgia is longer so we have packed somewhat heavier, but my 6800 lbs is just a guess. I will weigh again on Tuesday on my return trip. I believe my weight distribution needs some adjustment although the rig handles pretty well except for the porpoising. I have no sway at all. Also, I believe that my truck is heavy enough and strong enough with a 165 inch wheelbase to tow this trailer. It has a towing capacity of 10600 lbs.
