I found the info at nadaguides.com The new trailmanor catalogue lists the dry weight of a 2720 at 2742 lbs. The nada weight is listed the same. I started going back and looking year by year and found that from 1994-1998 the 2720 dry weight according to nada was 2355 lbs., and in 1999 it was 2465 lbs. From 2000-2003 the 2720 was 2555 lbs and it went to the current weight of 2742 in 2004. I found the same info for the 3023, which.....gave me hope that we could find and buy an older 3023 and be within our towing weight of 3500 lbs. We do not want to void warranty.

After reading your comments, I went back to the nada site to see what options were listed at those weights and evidently it was the dry weight before options. That is why I am trying to find out true weights from trailmanor owners. I am aware that there is a difference between dry weight, acutal weight with options and loaded weight with personal items. However, I am surprised at how many people I have talked to that are unaware of these differences. That is why I am hoping that owners of 1994-2003 model 2720 and 1994-1999 model 3023 will reply with the weight of their trailmanor including options. We are sure missing camping and are questioning our decision of selling our SUV and buying a new van based on info from the trailmanor site and brochure. But that is a decision that can't be undone. I like all that I have read about trailmanors for the past year and hope we can find one that will accomodate growing boys.
