A quick check of specs on The Wayback Machine shows dry weight for a 2001 2720 slideout model was given as 2680. There were a lot of options, but the heavy ones were awning, air conditioner, and spare tire and carrier. The propane bottles (empty) were included as a standard item, but the battery was not - it was usually added by the dealer.
I see a quick estimate list like this. Individual items can be argued, but the bottom line won't change much.
2680 spec dry 2720SL
100 air conditioner
50 awning
60 battery and box
20 propane (two tanks each half full)
100 spare tire and carrier
100 generator and basket

I understand your concern, as you list your tow vehicle as having a 3500-pound tow capacity. This means you need to pack very lightly, and travel at a leisurely pace. You also need to know (if you don't already), that the definition of "tow rating" of a car or truck is always reduced by the weight of everything you put in the car or truck, including passengers. In other words, if you put 500 pounds of cargo into the bed of your truck, the 3500-pound truck now has a tow rating of 3000 pounds. If you add two people at 150 pounds each, your rating is now 2700 pounds.
A few of our Forum members tow with 3500-pound-rated vehicles, and are apparently successful. You can find some of them by using the Forum's Search tool on the term "3500" (without the quotes). It is very helpful to tow in flat country, of course. But if you want to go up over the Mogollon Rim on I-17 or Rte 87, for example, you will need to pack light and take your time.
