Be careful about "brochure" weights - most trailers come in at 400# or so over the listed weight.
IIRR a Roo 233 is a 3-bed hybrid.
I've wondered about this. Why is this? How is this legal?

That 287QBS 7600# GVWR (Shipping weight + Cargo Carrying Capacity)
The 7600# Gross will not change...Cargo Carrying Capacity can go down due to Options/Dealer Added Accessories etc.
7600# GVWR times 13%----988# tongue weight (based on dry weight/dry hitch at 12.7%)
So when you weigh VAN 'Camp Ready' do you have enough capacity for 1000# tongue (hitch/tongue weight)??
Course this is an example.
A WDH will transfer some weight BUT take into account VANs rear axle weight/rating, VANs rear tires load ratings, VANS hitch rating and VANs GVWR
Have fun shopping.........took us over 6 months of active shopping to pick out our 5vr and it was just 2 of us :B
