dry weight 14,610 lb + fresh water (75 gal, full) 626 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around17,820 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)16,500 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~3,249 lb (20%)
Cargo capacity2,130 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 18 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 390DS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
