I know the dry weight is 2915 but I want the advice of those of you with more experience. I plan to tow it in Oregon, California, Mt. Shasta, Lake Tahoe and San Diego? Please let me know what you think.

Hi, You Will Get Lots Of Info Here, Maybe I Can Help A Little....
I Have A 2008, With The Basic Options Ac,Awning, 40 Gal Water Tank, Swing Hitch.
I Took The Weight Of My Tm With Full Propane Tanks, Full 40 Gal Water Tank & Full Water Heater (6 Gals). Weighed Everything I Put In There To Go Camping And I Came Up With About 3850 Lbs Fully Loaded.
If You Travel With An Empty Water Tank, Empty Water Heater, And Toilet Is Not Precharged Subtract Abouit 450 Lbs.
So With A Max Tow Rating Of 3500Lbs A 3023 Might Be Pushing It, Depends On How You Travel.
