Brochure figures are often misleading. However you have to understand what the brochure weights represent. THey are generally for a base model unit with no options. This very similar to trucks . The brochure weights are also based on stripped basic models.
The brochure starts with a base model every option you add reduces the cargo capacity. Add a a 2nd A/C deduct 100#. Add a 4 door fridge deduct 100#. Add a genset deduct 300#. Dual pane windows deduct 200#. U lounge sofa deduct 200#. King bed deduct 50#. Each option subtracts weight from the CCC.
Once you understand what the brochure numbers represent the figures are not as misleading.
This is why brochure dry weight numbers should not be used when matching a truck/RV combo. Brochure numbers are an OK starting point but they are seldom 100% accurate
