Just my opinion.
I agree with you, as long as the comparison is between similar trailers.

My brother tows a dual axle 5th wheel trailer. Weight is more than 10,500 and less than 15,000.

I am pretty sure that the wear and tear on his tires is greater than on any TM, due to the weight.

The wear and tear on his batteries is also larger, due to the number of batteries he has. In my 2720 I do not have room for 4 Trojans. He has TV with Direct TV. I have neither. This would not be a good comparison.
