Dutchmen Colorado 280BHC
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $24,300.
dry weight 5,668 lb + fresh water (44 gal, full) 367 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 280BHC's published weights changed mid-run.

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Dutchmen is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
Sleeps ten on a 7,600 lb GVWR, so read the cargo number carefully before loading the family in. GVWR derived as dry plus cargo capacity.
