This weight things is a constant on all the truck camper forums. Am I the only one who thinks there is not reason other than to mislead that truck camper manufacturers don't post wet weights including the options they install?

Some manufacturers do/did post all of the weights. Mine did and they were pretty accurate from what I can tell.

I have heard of at least one manufacturer (don't remember which) who weighed each unit as it left the factory.

One reason I can think of why they don't is then people will nit-pick over every pound that doesn't match up. There's probably variability in the weight of every one built, even with the same options. There's a measurable amount of weight just in screws and adhesives. Perhaps they change brands of microwave or some other component and now have to update the numbers.

They should be able to a least put 'typical' numbers for most things.
