No way a 2017 Freedom Express 192RBS will be stickered at just 3798 lbs when my own 2014 version is 3815 lbs, as newer models are much porkier than my '14. Towing with no water in the water heater tank and fresh water holding tank is unrealistic as that means the system would have to be repressurized and purged of air each time you wanted to use the system AND you'd lose the ability to use the system enroute. The 192 comes with two 20 lb propane tanks, each of which will eventually contain 20 lbs of propane gas. Most vehicle manufacturers include the weight of a full tank of gas in what they refer to as the curb weight of the vehicle ... you really need to weigh your Lexus with a full tank of gas because until you do you're just guessing.
Now that you mention this, it does sound suspicious.
I took a photo of the sales sheet in the 192RBS with my smartphone
and the dealer has it printed as "Dry Weight: 3,798 lbs".
Also took a photo of the factory sticker on the outside and it
has the GVWR = 5,900 lbs, and the yellow sticker stating "THE WEIGHT
OF CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED 1987 LBS" and "A full load of water
equals 299 lbs of cargo"
So, you might be right:
5,900 GVWR
-1,987 Cargo
-----
3,913 dry weight
Thats 115 lb difference. In any case, I had 100 lb for "Options"
in the above spreadsheet.
BTW, This 192RBS did not have built-in grill in the side.
