Gulfstream Amerilite 21MB vs 218MB
Maybe I missing something or finding some bad spec data online. I am planning on buying a trailer next spring and the Ameri-lite 21's have everything I want... and I can't find a single other trailer that comes close.
So it looks like the 218MB replaced the 21MB, perhaps with some overlap in production. The 218MB is basically the same layout, with some modifications in the bathroom primarily, but other than that, the same thing.... except somehow it gained 700+ lbs!!??
I will tow with a V8 Dodge Durango, and keeping the dry weight down is very important. I find online that the Gulf Stream AMERILITE 21MB is Dry Weight 3,215 lbs., and the AMERILITE 218MB Dry Weight 3,927 lbs.!?
Anyone have either of these, or have info and can comment? I cannot imagine how they could have added 700lbs to a trailer that size unless they put a full NASCAR roll cage in it....
TIA
