The UVW listed in brochures is for standard items on the TT. After extra items are added like an elec awning, changes in furniture etc, then the TT is weighed at the factory and a sticker is placed on the door. That sticker is the official UVW of the unit. That's why the ones in the video are heavier than the ones in the brochure. Options that are listed in the brochure changed the weight. If you know what you add for gear then you can safely add that weight to the TT's sticker weight and you will be close to your camping weight. However if you have never camped in an RV before then you will have know idea what you will need. IMO adding 1,000lbs to the stickered weight is safe. If you add less then fine, but chances are you won't add all that much more. If your that close on weight that 500lbs makes or breaks it then you need to down size the TT or upgrade the TV. You don't want to be in a situation where you can't take the things you want to because your over weight in the TT or the tow vehicle.
