Disagree. Any new trailer I've purchased has included only the weight of empty propane tank(s) in the factory stickered dry weight of the trailer as propane itself and any battery (or batteries) are added later by the dealer. Regardless, surely you realize that any trailer's average gross tongue weight will be considerably more than it's brochure listed dry tongue weight once loaded & ready to camp. I typically average ~ 625 lbs of gross tongue weight with my own Freedom Express 192RBS which had an advertised factory dry tongue weight of just 392 lbs. Good thing too, as that 625 lbs represents an average gross tongue weight to average gross weight of ~ 13%, right where it should be.
