Bear in mind that, like all RV manufacturers, TM's posted "dry weight" is the weight of the unit BEFORE any factory options are added (TM has only a few options, but the air conditioner and the awning weigh a bit), and BEFORE you add any of your own stuff (water, food, clothes, tools, and so forth). Even if you plan to pack light - and actually do it - you should count on adding maybe 500 pounds to the dry weight to determine the actual towed weight, which of course is what you care about.
Several of our members have 3500-pound-rated vehicles, and several have expressed satisfaction with them (some not, of course). An important question is this - where do you plan to tow? Towing on the flatlands of Florida or the midwest is a lot different than venturing into the Rockies or the Sierras, for example.
Hope this helps

Problem is I have not found anything that breaks down the weight and can account for the weight of options. Nada's give a single weight and who knows what the option weigh. And I do not think their information is very accurate either because they show the 2009 2720 SL as the same weight as the plain 2009 2720 and isn't the plain 2720 wider and heavier?
I wish Trailmanor would archive the info on previous units so we wouldn't have to guess. I have reached out to them for this info and will see if they get back to me.
