Dadmomh- dry weight has appliances and furnace and ac but no propane or battery and none of the dealer installed options from what I understand. The yellow sticker on the trailer should include those items but it will still weigh even more after the owner adds their dishes, toiletries, clothes, chairs, tools, leveling blocks, food, hoses, extension cords, wood (if it isn't in tow vehicle), possible air compressor, maybe a generator, and the list goes on. People don't realize how quickly this stuff adds up, how it affects tongue weight and how that affects the tow vehicle. Many also think they can fix tongue weight by loading stuff to the rear of the tt but then fail to understand how off loading the tongue can cause a sway issue. It all boils down to education and research. I can fully admit as a newbie I didn't know what I didn't know or even what questions to ask or research. I was grateful for posts that helped open my mind up to more things to research for myself. I feel it has made me a better rver understanding these things and knowing that even with 2 1/2 yrs under my belt I am still a relative neophyte and have a lot to learn.
