Oops , dry weight should also subtract the fresh water and hot water weights from the GVWR on the silver sticker... 95 kg and 26 kg in the case of our 17b. I'll plead aging mind....

Ok taking that into account on our sticker info I end up with 3,635 lbs.

How does that compare to other fairly loaded 21' Escapes?

The heaviest options I listed in my original post.

Do you ever tow with the black tank full, or partially full? If so that may put you over as it's towards the front of the trailer, especially as the fresh tank level drops. I noticed a big difference in the pin weight of my 5.0TA when that's the case.
