According to Randell at the factory the weight sticker is VERY close to what the unit weighs. Notice I said there is a base weight and then a weight for the unit as it is equipped. IE all options. I also said it is a dry weight. Not wet and loaded. Everyone is different in that aspect of RVing. If I buy one I will weigh it several times to see how it comes out.
Every unit has the weight sticker. It's by the door. It shows base wight and what the unit weighs with the options on that unit. Again Randell told me most are leaving the factory at 4300 to 4750. The 3 I looked at were all in that range. All had 3 slide outs and 2 had the gen set.
Take that weight and add batteries, LPG and fresh water to get an empty wet weight in the 5000-5500 lb range. Now add your tools, clothes, gear, food, passengers and pets to this subtotal. If you are towing a trailer, also add its tongue weight to your projected payload. This is why it is easy to get in 6000+ lb range when you add it all up.
I never called Randall a liar about the weight, but that is not the only thing that is going to be part of the payload.
