Yes Bill...
Thay do state that BUT they also state in their brochure the the Elkmont weighs 2498 lb with a tongue weight of 320 lb. However the truth is that the Elkmont we bought weighed 3600 lb with about 600 lb on the tongue. And yes in the fine print it was defined as "Dry Weight" but when a customer tells the dealer that he is capable of towing 3500 lb total with no more than 350 on the tongue than the dealer should stop his sales pitch and explain, and when you open TM's Elkmont brochure on page two at the top it even states that these can be towed with "the most popular minivans, crossovers and SUV's". 80% of those have a tow limit of 3500 lb and about 350 on the tongue. The trailer manufacturers don't give a crap about customer service as long as they can get rid of their product. And although someone here suggested that I contact RVIA with mu concern, which I did, I am to this date without an answer from them. But than again it is an association protecting the manufacturers, not the customers.
