Winnebago minnie construction
Long time reader first time poster. My family of four is in the market for a travel trailer. We have quite a bit of experience with travel trailers as we have always had free access to a forest river ...

Apex-dry weight is 4600 lbs with a max load of 6500
Winnebago-dry weight is 5300 lbs with a max load of 7000
The exact towing capacity of my truck is 6800 lbs
With the tt we currently use, lit has a dry weight of 4100lbs and a gvwr of 5800lbs. We never carry water and we only load a few hundred lbs of stuff. It tows like a dream w a Reese wd hitch and sway control. The apex is very close in weight and capacity to what we tow now and I know it's made of the materials I want. It's also cheaper........the apex seems to be the better choice all around, I guess I should take a closer look at the apex, saving 700 lbs at dry weight is a good thing.
Apex allows for 2200 lbs in people,gear, water, propane etc
Winnebago only leaves 1500lbs
My guess is with the Winnebago I'd be near max capacity for the truck towing while the apex would always be 700 lbs less. I also would like to not be at max towing capacity.....
The one thing I didn't like about the apex is that the local dealer has horrible reviews, especially with warranty work after the sale.
