I'll just give you the weights of our rig and everyone can decide what works for them.
We have a 2005 810 Snowriver and a 2010 3500 SRW Dodge RAM with 19.5 Rickson Wheels.
Here are the weights from the same certified scale:
Truck full of fuel - 7,660#
Truck full of fuel, camper with full water and LP, and ready to go camping ( food, clothes, etc.) - 12,400#
Thus the camper ready to go camping weighs 4,740#. I don't know the "dry weight", but to me the "ready to go" weight is what counts.
No need to tell me I'm over weight, need a DRW, etc..........it works for us, but you decide what's best for you.
