Hi Stircrazy,
That's good info.
I got a final reply from BF and they said that back in 2006 the weights were calculated but it should be pretty close and again, if in doubt, weight it. Even so, if they were accurately at weighting the first unit and kept track, others should be close but how close? I would think 10% but that too is a guess.
So while I appreciate their confidence, I would weigh it and not depend on the label. Sounds like they installed a scale at some point later. He did say this camper was from the "old company" and didn't keep any records. I mailed them the label so they didn't need to look anything up.
so that was the old ownership before they closed down for a couple years. they were bought by a couple of the employees and some moulds were sold off to northern light and another company and they streamlined there products. what they do now is they have the standard weight then it is put on a load scale filled with water, batteries and propane and such and then they hand write the weight on the sticker on the back of a cabnet door. but in all reality they could measure the final product to get any manufacturing variations and then put add the knowen weight of all the stuff light water, batteries and propane and you would be with in 20 lbs. I just like that you know the weight after all the factory options you ordered have been installed.
