dry weight 15,212 lb + fresh water (65 gal, full) 542 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb (capped at its own rating). Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 15 OF 95
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 3960LS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
