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?
It was explained to me by a salesman that the trailer is weighed before appliances, A/C, propane tanks are installed as a base unit before options are added to have a baseline brochure weight.
Once you start adding everything, that's when you have to look at the weight sticker on the actual camper. A Jayco I was looking at was almost 900 lbs more than the brochure weight.
It's the same thing on a truck. There is a brochure towing/payload capacity, and then there's the actual sticker on the truck. Every option that is added reduces capacity.
