The difference between dry an loaded weight.
When I bought my 25 ft. TT the literature said 5004 lbs. dry and 400 lbs. on the tongue. Common sense said it would weigh more when loaded but how much more? So before a couple of our trips I took ...

The brochure weights put out by the manufacturers is artificially low. The manufacturer will note that weight is based on a trailer equipped with only "standard" equipment.
However, please note that all manufacturers that I've seen have at the minimum a "consumer value package" or some similarly named package. This is not "standard", but it is a "mandatory" option.
You can not get this trailer without the "CVP" but it's not included in the dry weight because it's a "mandatory" option, and not a standard item.

I suppose the reason for the dry weight, is if the TT needs to be shipped. However, I have never seen anything larger 16 ft on a trailer, usually three at a time.
The end result is it is used to sell trailers so it is interesting to see how much weight people add.
