What towable RV makers actually publish

A count, not a survey. 1,024 verified floorplan records across 110 lines, measuring which specifications manufacturers publish, which they leave out, and how often their own published figures disagree with each other.

Everything below is counted from this site's own catalogue of 1024 verified floorplan records across 110 lines and 11 brands. It is a description of what manufacturers publish, not a survey of 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.

What gets published, and what does not

FieldPublishedOfShare
Dry weight10241024100.0%
GVWR874102485.4%
Hitch or pin weight1014102499.0%

The GVWR gap is the single most consequential omission in this catalogue. 150 floorplans — 14.6% of the total — carry no published GVWR at all. GVWR is the loaded ceiling, so its absence is the difference between a buyer being able to check a trailer against a tow rating and not being able to. This site does not close that gap by computing dry weight plus cargo capacity and printing the result as a factory figure; those rows read “Not published”.

Where the arithmetic disagrees with itself

874 of the 1024 floorplans that publish both a GVWR and a cargo capacity can be checked against their own arithmetic: dry weight plus cargo capacity should equal GVWR. 867 of 874 tie out exactly. 7 do not. The discrepancies run from 5 lb to 540 lb.

Not one of those 7 is corrected here. Each is published with its own conflicting figures and the arithmetic printed, on the published-figure conflicts page, because a buyer deciding what to tow is better served by knowing the manufacturer's numbers disagree than by being handed a tidied-up one. A trailer whose own paperwork is inconsistent by 540 lb is a fact about that trailer.

Travel trailers against fifth wheels

Median hitch / pin weight740 lbs2,462 lbs
Median hitch as share of dry12.0%18.8%

The last row is the one that decides the tow vehicle. A bumper-pull puts its tongue weight on the hitch behind the rear axle; a fifth wheel puts its pin weight in the bed, ahead of it. The published medians here are 12.0% and 18.8% of dry weight respectively, which is why a fifth wheel that looks tow-able on trailer weight alone can still be out of reach on payload.

How to cite this

These counts are reproducible from the published dataset rather than taken on trust. Every record behind them is downloadable as one JSON file at /data/, free with attribution, and every figure traces to a floorplan page that names its source. Method: how these specifications are verified.
