Default Tongue weight vs. dry weight.

I was just rummaging around the Trail Manor web site, and found something odd.

For a 2720, the dry weight is listed around 3130 pounds. The hitch weight is 380 pounds.
For a 2922, the dry weight is listed around 3350 pounds. The hitch weight is 260 pounds.

We are all familiar with the industry standard that the tongue weight of a trailer - any trailer - must be at least 10% of the trailer weight. The 2720, at 12%, meets this requirement nicely. The 2922, at 8%, isn’t even close.

Before I go to TM's web site and ask, does anyone have any insight into this issue?

Bill
