10-4 I agree. The sag in rear of truck was the only reason I changed my original setup. I may just move it all back to that. 700 mi round trip was flawless. Except little low in rear.

There should be a sheet glued to the inside of one of the cabinets that tells you the actual weight of the trailer, as it left the factory. I would think the factory scales would be calibrated regularly.

As I understand, this is the "true" weight of the trailer, dry as it left the factory. Now maybe RV Tech can add to this or correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not sure if this includes full tanks of propane, as well as, the sticker on the outside of the trailer is a general "average" for that trailer model. Options and accessories will change the "actual" dry weight of the trailer. ie hida bed vs lounge chairs, dinette vs free standing chairs, etc. Could explain the lower trailer weight.

dry weight does not include propane or battery.
