3k is the wet weight with standard options. There is a list of options with their weights you need to include if you have any.
Our 9.5’ camper with slide specs out somewhere around 3300-3400 wet. It runs about 4k loaded up. I doubt you’ll hit 4k either.
I think most of us find that it is really easy to add a lot of weight. Yes, first think of any options. We upgraded the mattress to foam which is quite heavy. We added large AGM batteries, 2 solar panels and a generator. When you do any sort of extended camping it is also real easy to add a lot of weight: kitchen gear, food, cleaning supplies, tools, clothing, extra bedding, laptops, camera gear, leveling blocks, generator gas, folding chairs, books/maps/travel guides, air compressor, BBQ grill, hoses, electric space heater, rope/bungies/hardware/caulk, backpacks, canteens/hydration pack, flashlights, etc....
