Dry weight and tongue weight as supplied by the manufacturer are usually polite fiction - based on a TT with no options, no battery, no LP gas, etc. This is often buried in the fine print.
Having said that, unless Coachmen is giving you an actual weight (and at one time they did) I agree with Rob, above. By the time you have your TT loaded for the road, it will weigh much more than the "dry weight." The only way to know is to take it to a scale. Good luck & safe travels.
