Yeah thanks all for the discussion on GVWR and Dry weight. I have done some research, even called winnebago to discuss the difference. If I remember the winnebago rep correctly, the dry weight was the weight of the RV minus any other things like water and stabilizer bars and the like. The GVWR was how much the whole RV trailer would carry, as if I filled it with a bunch of sand.
Since the Micro Minnie falls almost 3k pounds under the tow rating of the Tundra we figured even with all the incidentals we wouldn't break it.
I wonder if they will let you test haul one before you buy it. Would kind of stink to purchase one and then not be able to tow it off the lot.
And yeah GMW Photos, we have been investigating things since last year. Looking at different models, options, and the like.
One thing we KNOW we need is a bed where people can get off on either side. No crawling over one another in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. So that discounts a lot of them.
We'd LIKE a table like in the 2201DS but its not a must.
I like the bathroom better in the 2201DS but it's not a must.
We both dislike the center console TV thing in the 2201DS which sits at the foot of the mattress. It feels like it encloses the bedroom too much. One we seldom watch tv anymore even on vacation and if we did we'd just use the internet.
We are going tankless so we wont need to carry water all the time. Or will we? The 31 gallon fresh water tank means 257 pounds of extra weight IF we were hauling it. I thought to get one of those rolling containers for hauling water and maybe keep 10 gallons (80 pounds) in the truck bed fir, just in case, don't have a water hookup for a bit. Both my wife and I have done the low water usage thing before.
so let's see..
rough calculations put it at 5200 pounds. Dogs and people and blankets and incidentals and all. Does that sound right?
And again, thanks all for the info. Learning much!
