That is where I got the TT numbers that I posted from.
Then that is the exact weight of the TT sitting in front of you. Many folks use the brochure weight, if they haven't been to the dealer lot, and those weights are not all that accurate. But the yellow sticker is required by law to be correct.
Add the weight of your gear to it, plus the weight of the propane to fill the tanks, (either 40, or 60 lbs) and you will be right on. But if it has the awning, stove, and AC. Few TT come without them anymore. they are already included.
As I said. Using that weight. There is no reason it should weight more than 7700 lb. Since you only added around 900 lbs to your last one.
