Hi Scrubjay,

We were able to keep our weight at 3300 with the 2720SD verified on the scales because we do not have the extra cabinets, we removed the three drawer dresser, removed one of the propane tanks and this was with full water. We have a tongue scale and verified the tongue weight at 340lb by removing one LP tank and carrying the other in the tub while traveling. The whole concept of TM was keeping things light weight. From the cabinets to the aluminum/foam walls and ceiling. Besides, the TM uses an axle rated at 3500lb, brakes rated at 3500lb, tires rated at 3600lb, so it just makes sense to keep the TM's weight below 3500lb. We were back packers so traveling light was the name of the game The TM is a luxury for us with all of the amenities. If we were to haul all of the added toys and stuff that others carry, then we probably would tow with a semi. But then if we did that, we would also upgrade to a larger non TM trailer.
