Adventurer and I assume EC since they are owned by Adventurer actually weight the camper with all accessories included, you if you are looking at a dealer, you will get a pretty good idea of the actual weight of the camper.
On Solar, I will agree partially with a previous comment doing it yourself. That can result in a more efficient system then what the factory will ship you, but I frankly would find a reliable solar dealer in your area that specializes in solar for RV and use them. The campers are prewired for solar, although it is possible that the wiring would not be sufficient. You do have a lot of reading when it comes to solar.
Like you, my wife and I came from a 5th wheel and started way back when with a tent trailer. Just go tired of towing and the limitations of a large camper. We settled in on a smaller TC from Adventurer because of the limitations of our 1999 F250, but for two it is just fine. It will take some time to get use to a TC and we are still in that mode, but do not regret the decision to switch to a TC.
