OK so here is an interesting update. the adventure 910db is supplied to fraser way rv along with 3 or 4 other models, in fact fraser way's orders totals 30% of the adventures made. so they put them in the rental fleet for one or two years then they sell them as lightly used and put new ones in the rental fleet.
so the same one I am looking at was equiped for rent on a SRW ford long box diesel with no suspension mods. the actual weight of this one from the factory (they weigh then after the orderes options have been installed with full water, batteries and propane and they write that on the decal inside the cubbord door. this one was 3400lbs actual weight so 150 lbs of options installed. that means if I pack 500lbs of food, cloths and supplies I will be right around my GVW, maybe a little over but I will be under the axel raitings as some of that weight will go forward. not all 3900lbs will be on the rear. so that was good to find out..
so the term dry weight can be deciving and different companies seem to treat it different, but if you read the fine print it doesnt say dry, it says
" the camper weight is ####lbs maximum when it contains standard equipment, 42gal of water, 40lbs of bottled gas, and 7.0 cuft of refridgerator"
then under that it says the actual weight with factory installed options is ####lbs
