So we were at an RV show and I was poking around a bit and started to look at the weight stickers. found some "1/2 ton towable" TT`s with dry weights starting at 8k lbs, one was 8700lbs!!! now, I`m no...

1/2 towable marketing isn't any different than the minivan/CUV-towable marketing.
it's all smoke and mirrors and using specs that a minority have to justify using the label.
look how all those minivan/CUV-towables have 3500lbs GVWRs but extremely low CCC amounts. they don't expect buyers to pay any attention to the CCC or hitch weight numbers, only the magical 3500 number.
because they can find a handful of 1/2 configurations, that can tow some of these 1/2 towables(especially 5th wheels), they think it gives them the right to use the "1/2 towable" label.
A long time ago my mother taught me to wrongs don't make a right!
Just because there are other misleading ads doesn't make it OK or justify misleading 1/2 ton advertising:S
I edited my post because I left out a few words.
I agree with you, neither marketing ploys are ethical. But they take advantage of the typical uninformed consumer who doesn't know any better.
