Grand Design Transcend Xplor 23BHX
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $24,800.
dry weight 5,580 lb + fresh water (56 gal, full) 467 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 23BHX's published weights held steady.
