Just keep in mind this is an orphan trailer and although some will tell you that's not a big deal there will be parts you simply won't be able to get, should that ever be necessary.

These are great replies, thank you all. To be clear, I'm not to the point that I insist they weight it, even if it's 5000lbs my yukon XL can handle it. I was just taken aback by just how exceptionally light a trailer this size could be. Hearing that this was their claim to fame makes sense then, and seeing others with trailers from the same company who did verify the weight to be within 50lbs of the sticker leads me to believe that they did, in fact, figure out how to make a trailer that light. I went this morning and did a close inspection of the trailer and it looks to be in excellent condition, so I'm going to move forward with the buy. I'll be very happy to have actually shed 500lbs and get a bigger trailer out of it! Makes the 1000 mile each way tow from RI to SC every year a little less strenuous on me and my tow vehicle!

We had an R-vision 23QB that was about 3000lbs empty according to CAT scales. The sticker on ours said 2950 if I remember correctly. So the one you’re looking at could be correct.

Our ultra lite TT, even though it's 8 ft longer than our old one and has an 11 ft slide as opposed to the 6 ft in the other, weighs almost the same as our 26 footer. The floor and roof are made out of a composite of plywood and styrofoam and uses less wood in the framework. It can be done without the tears of unicorns. ;)

Appreciate any info on this, as if accurate I'll be snapping this baby up tomorrow. I just want to know if it's not accurate, what the real weight is...

Then make this a condition of sale by insisting the dealer weigh the trailer on a scale. RVision products' claim to fame was their exceptionally light weight, including our 2006 TrailCruiser C21RBH which had a UVW of just 2900 lbs, lighter by hundreds of pounds than any other trailer in this size at the time. A sandwich foam floor was one reason why so although I wouldn't be surprised to see this 29' model's UVW to be so low the only way you'll know for sure is to weigh it. Since this seems so important to you the answer is simple - insist on a weigh scale reading before you sign on the dotted line.

Found a 2012 listed at 4,700lbs dry which I think is probably more realistic. Easiest way to find out is hook it up and take it to the scales. That shouldn't be an issue with a used unit.

Why don’t you ask the dealer if you can weight it locally?
