Everything below is counted from this site's own dataset: 1,835 floorplans across 157 lines and 12 brands, plus 758 model-year records, each a separate published record for one year of 251 of those floorplans. It describes what manufacturers publish, not what is sold. A figure appears here only because a named manufacturer or dealer-network source published it and this site transcribed it. Where publication is patchy, the gap is the finding.
A floorplan is counted once. A model-year record records the figures published for one other year of a floorplan that already has its own page, so model-year records are counted in their own column and never added into a floorplan total.
What gets published, and what does not
| Field | Floorplans (of 1,835) | Share | Model-year records (of 758) | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dry weight | 1,629 | 88.8% | 757 | 99.9% |
| GVWR (printed by a source) | 1,246 | 67.9% | 737 | 97.2% |
| Cargo capacity | 1,446 | 78.8% | 755 | 99.6% |
| Hitch or pin weight | 1,742 | 94.9% | 757 | 99.9% |
| Length | 1,675 | 91.3% | 732 | 96.6% |
| Fresh water tank | 1,739 | 94.8% | 757 | 99.9% |
| Sleeps | 765 | 41.7% | 745 | 98.3% |
| Tire size | 684 | 37.3% | 521 | 68.7% |
| MSRP | 143 | 7.8% | 0 | 0.0% |
The GVWR gap is the most consequential omission here. 589 of 1,835 floorplans (32.1%) have no GVWR from any source this site reads. GVWR is the loaded ceiling, so without it a buyer cannot check the trailer against a tow rating. Those rows read “Not published”. 0 more floorplans show a GVWR worked out as dry weight plus cargo capacity because no source printed one; each is labelled as derived on its page and is not counted as published in the table above.
Where the arithmetic disagrees with itself
Dry weight plus cargo capacity should equal GVWR. 1,093 floorplans publish all three, so their figures can be checked against each other. 1,086 of 1,093 tie out exactly. 7 do not, with gaps from 1 lb to 65 lb. Of the 733 model-year records that publish all three, 21 do not tie out.
None of them is corrected here. 7 of the 7 floorplans are listed with their arithmetic on the published-figure conflicts page, and 28 of all 28 conflicting pages print the disagreement beside their own weights. A buyer deciding what to tow is better served by knowing the published numbers disagree than by being handed a tidied-up one.
Travel trailers against fifth wheels
Floorplans only. Each figure is taken over the floorplans that publish it, and n is that count. The last row is worked out plan by plan: each floorplan's own hitch or pin weight divided by its own dry weight, then the median of those ratios. The hitch rows leave out: Jayco Eagle 284BHOK and Jayco Jay Flight Bungalow 40LSDL, whose published hitch figures are physically implausible against their own dry weight and are listed on the published-figure conflicts page. The dry-weight rows and the ratio row leave out 29 Airstream floorplans: the maker publishes a unit base weight with LP and batteries, not a dry weight, and the two are not the same figure.
| Measure | Travel trailer | Fifth wheel |
|---|---|---|
| Floorplans | 1,371 | 464 |
| Median dry weight | 6,103 lbs (n=1,194) | 12,454 lbs (n=406) |
| Lightest dry weight | 1,779 lbs (n=1,194) | 7,000 lbs (n=406) |
| Heaviest dry weight | 14,404 lbs (n=1,194) | 19,771 lbs (n=406) |
| Median published GVWR | 7,775 lbs (n=945) | 16,220 lbs (n=301) |
| Median published hitch / pin weight | 738 lbs (n=1,305) | 2,300 lbs (n=435) |
| Median of each plan's hitch ÷ dry weight | 12.4% (n=1,174) | 18.9% (n=406) |
A bumper-pull puts its tongue weight on a hitch behind the rear axle; a fifth wheel puts its pin weight in the truck bed. Both count against the tow vehicle's payload. Across the floorplans here, the median pin weight is 18.9% of dry weight and the median tongue weight 12.4%. Both are the makers' published figures (437 of 1,742 labelled dry by their maker), and both rise as the trailer is loaded. That is why a fifth wheel that fits a tow rating on trailer weight can still exceed a truck's payload.

These counts can be reproduced from the published dataset. Every record behind them is in one JSON file at /data/, free to use with attribution, and every figure traces to a page that names its source. A record is a model-year record when it holds the figures for an earlier or later year of a floorplan that has its own page. Method: how these specifications are verified.
