That is the dry weight of my QBOK, I'm no expert but I have a hard time believing a TBOK is the same weight regardless of the options.

Let's just hope a few workers were still inside when they weighed it!

That amount of weight capacity is less than my Diamond Edition Rockwood. I have 1361 lbs. This includes spare tire, push out awnings and Diamond edition options.

This sounds a a lot like Sierra issues with low CCC.

I'll maybe get it scaled after work today. Sorry I said the four letter word.... Luckily, there's an ag scale in town and it stays on all the time. Gotta love Midwest, small town living!

I figured with the added slide toppers, propane, battery, and any water, I'm probably already at gvrw if the stickers are right. that'd be a bad deal. I'll report scale weights when I get there.

Got a reply from my dealer, with a string of forwarded emails on it. Basically the sticker can't be correct, and here is the factories response;

Gary,
It looks like somebody put the wrong sticker on this unit. I show cargo carrying capacity at 3658 lbs. unit dry weight at 10215 lbs. So the unit is fine just labeled wrong

I like the darker stain on cabinetry, also like the rework of the outdoor kitchen! Never understood the idea of putting the fridge right in the middle!? Although you do lose cabinet storage space with this new layout, I have not needed that space yet!
JT, hard to see in photo but do you not have the pull out stove top? all fronts look to be false in pic?

No pull out stove. There's a swing arm on the bumper, so they are sending me a grill I believe, but maybe it's a stove? That was the biggest disappointment on the od kitchen, but I still have my Coleman camp stove!

You need a new weight tag or you'll regret it when you try and trade or sell.

Was thinking the same thing. In dealing with another initial warranty issue (leaking from fw tank), so will get it all taken care of in the next several weeks after some use. I'm hoping the factory will realize they need to send new stickers... :0

Hoping the leak is just a lose hose clamp. It started leaking when the fw tank was full, and ran out in a pretty steady stream. I'm going to drop some coroplast and see what it looks like and how much insulation needs replaced.

Tank has a hole in it, near the top, in the front flange that helps hold it up. Guess I'll call with a bit less than a full tank for a bit, and get the tank replaced when convenient. Anybody tackle replacing a fw tank themselves? Doesn't look to difficult, but I'm not sure how they come.?
