A few winters ago I talked many times to the owner of a large Teton fifth and he towed with a 2003 GMC dually. He bought an early 06 duramax and I asked why not wait for the new engine and his jaw dropped. then I asked if it towed better than the older 3500 dually and yes. He then told me our 35 alpenlite was heavier than his 4 slide large Teton so what does it weigh I asked. Never weighed it so the above post I believe are true. Most don't know.

I’m guilty of not knowing, “exactly” what our present Teton weighs, we keep changing out stuff, just a bit over 20 K, is my best guess.....using a previous weigh from several years ago.
Our old ‘95 Teton weighed, 21,980 lbs......fully geared-up, propane, and water tanks filled, and ready to go! But, it was a little larger and had a few heavy features added!
One day soon, I hope to reweigh this one....for an exact weight. Suffice to say it’s heavy....but not bad to tow! Heavy enough to be stable in fairly high winds, which is comforting!
