Dutchmen Atlas 2502REF
Sticker was $38,384 in 2021. Out of production since 2024, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2024 unit.
dry weight 7,816 lb + fresh water (50 gal, full) 417 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 2502REF's published weights changed mid-run.

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Dutchmen is a volume manufacturer. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
FIFTH WHEEL, not a travel trailer: the smallest half-ton-towable Atlas fifth wheel, rear entertainment layout. GVWR derived as dry plus cargo capacity.
