Where the published figures disagree

A towable trailer publishes three weights that have to agree. The dry weight is what it leaves the factory weighing. The cargo capacity is what you are allowed to add. The GVWR is the maximum it may weigh loaded. Add the first two and you should get the third exactly. On most of the 747 floorplans on this site where all three are published, you do — 740 of them close to the pound. On the fifteen below, they do not, and no amount of looking at them harder will make them. This page exists so that those fifteen are findable in one place instead of buried in a footnote on the page of the trailer they affect.

01 · Why these are not quietly fixed

There is always an obvious repair. If dry weight plus cargo capacity comes to sixty-five pounds more than the stated GVWR, you could shave the cargo figure by sixty-five pounds and every number would line up. It would also be a number no manufacturer ever published, presented in a table of numbers that they did.

So the rule on this site is that a conflict gets printed, not resolved. Where a floorplan is profiled in full, the disagreement appears on its own page beside the weights, in the words source conflict, shown not resolved, with both totals spelled out. Where the conflict is bad enough that publishing a tow figure would be irresponsible, the floorplan is catalogued from its published specifications and given no page at all — it appears in its line’s roster table with the factory figures and a note saying why there is nothing to click.

There is no size threshold, and that is deliberate. Three of the plans below miss by exactly one pound. One pound changes no tow decision anyone will ever make, which is precisely what makes it tempting to round away — and precisely why it is not. A threshold would turn a rule into a judgement call, and the moment it is a judgement call the reader can no longer tell whether a set of numbers is internally consistent or merely close enough that somebody decided not to mention it.

02 · Profiled floorplans that publish a conflict

These 7 have full pages. Every one of them carries the disagreement on the page itself, next to the weights, and the loading graphic is drawn to the larger of the two totals so the gap is visible rather than averaged out.

Floorplan	Dry	Cargo	Dry + cargo	Published GVWR	Gap
Heartland Prowler 2601RLS	6,715 lb	1,725 lb	8,440 lb	7,900 lb	+540 lb
Airstream Bambi 16RB	3,150 lb	450 lb	3,600 lb	3,500 lb	+100 lb
Springdale 2880BRS	6,710 lb	2,420 lb	9,130 lb	9,035 lb	+95 lb
Jayco Eagle 321RSTS	11,145 lb	2,130 lb	13,275 lb	13,200 lb	+75 lb
Jayco Pinnacle 38SSWS	15,415 lb	3,350 lb	18,765 lb	18,700 lb	+65 lb
Airstream Bambi 22FB	3,900 lb	1,150 lb	5,050 lb	5,000 lb	+50 lb
Jayco Jay Feather 27MK	7,305 lb	1,540 lb	8,845 lb	8,850 lb	-5 lb

Read the gap column as: how much the manufacturer’s own two figures overshoot (or undershoot) the ceiling it also published. The Prowler 2601RLS is the outlier at 540 lb — on that plan the two published sources cannot both describe the same trailer.

03 · Catalogued only — no page published

These 8 are listed in their line’s roster with the factory figures, and deliberately have no floorplan page. Publishing a tow-weight profile built on numbers that do not reconcile would put a figure in front of a buyer that the manufacturer never stood behind.

Cherokee Alpha Wolf 29DCB	7,818 lb	2,317 lb	10,135 lb	9,995 lb	+140 lb	hub

Rockwood Signature 301SRK is a different kind of conflict. It is the only row here with no gap figure, because the manufacturer publishes no GVWR for that family at all. What it does publish is a cargo capacity of 7,523 lb against a dry weight of 7,523 lb — identical to the pound, a trailer rated to carry its own weight again, where the rest of its roster runs between 13% and 21%. The raw capture was re-read directly to confirm the figure is the factory’s and not a transcription error on our side. It is.

Puma Vista 423LFT is the largest single discrepancy on the site: a published GVWR 3,000 lb above its own dry-plus-cargo total. Its sibling 39BHK misses by 50 lb in the other direction.

04 · What to do with a trailer on this list

Treat the published GVWR as the binding number and ignore the cargo figure, because GVWR is the rating the axles, tyres and brakes were engineered around and it is the number that appears on the federal certification label riveted to the trailer itself. Cargo capacity is arithmetic done afterwards, and it is the figure that drifts.

Then weigh the trailer. A public scale costs a few dollars and settles in five minutes what no brochure can: what your specific unit, with its specific options and its specific dealer-installed extras, actually weighs. Every trailer on this site would benefit from that. The fifteen on this page need it.

Finally, check the label rather than the listing. The certification label carries the GVWR and the axle ratings as built. Where it disagrees with anything published here or anywhere else, the label wins — it describes your trailer, and the brochure describes a model.

05 · How this list is maintained

Every profiled floorplan is checked by arithmetic each time the site is rebuilt: dry weight plus cargo capacity against published GVWR, to the pound. Plans whose GVWR is derived rather than published are excluded from the check, because a derived figure is calculated from the other two and would always agree with itself. As of 31 July 2026 that leaves 747 floorplans where all three figures are independently published, of which 740 reconcile exactly and the 7 above do not.

A plan joins this page in one of two ways: the arithmetic fails on a page that is otherwise ready to publish, or a conflict is found during harvesting that is serious enough to stop the page being built at all. Nothing is removed from this list by being re-examined; a conflict is only ever removed by the manufacturer publishing a corrected figure, and then the correction is what gets recorded.
