Listed where? Unfortunately many prospective newbie owners looking for a TT will look at brochure specs for the trailer they may be interested in and actually believe that it's listed dry weight reflects what that trailer will actually weigh as it leaves the factory, which is completely false as those weight ratings are based on a bone stock model with no options or accessories, in fact a version the manufacturer doesn't even build. Factory listed sticker dry weight is an entirely different thing and is the only dry weight rating that should be given any credence at all. If you're going to offer advice to newbies you need to be more specific. ;)
