Cathy, I'm thinking that it being listed as shipping weight that the LP tanks being filled might, but whether they do or not I am unsure. Don't know about them for dry weight either, would seem to make sense them to not count in dry weight. I'll have to compare the sticker with the paperwork when we pick Blue II up.

I think you are right above that shipping weight should be dry weight (not used for purposes of actually shipping across the country but for giving trailer weight with options). I thought the difference between classic and new was more. Seems it did not really affect you.

I don't think they weigh each trailer but simply use the base weight and add what they have for each option. They provide those weights to owners before the trailer is finished. Might be interesting to weigh before any loading.

Tammy told me that the weight change to the 21 was going to be minimal as it had few weight adding changes in the new model. She was right
