It would be more accurate and honest to state the weight as configured as is done with vehicles. My Lance 845 has a sticker weight of 2747 but after we picked it up and took it to a CAT scale the actual weight was over 3100 lbs. or 350 lbs. more. According to the Lance brochure for my camper model and model year the weight is stated as being 2412 lbs. or 700 lbs. less than the actual delivered weight.
So to be safe a buyer would want to add 700 lbs. to the Lance weight indicated in their brochure and add 1000 lbs. for water and gear and "extras" like an AC, a solar panel, roof rack, second battery, 4-season package, or a generator.
The Lance ~2500 lb. campers will need a truck able to handle a 4,000 lb. payload. I doubt many buyers are aware of how heavy their campers will be in actual use.
