As noted in the specifications, does the 12,015 pound "Dry Weight" of the Bighorn 3160 Elite include or exclude full water and propane tanks?
We are planning to purchase a Bighorn 3160 Elite in early 2017. While reading through various trailer manufacturers information sources, I have found sometimes the "Dry (or Empty) Weight" includes the weight of full fresh water and propane tanks. Realizing the term "dry/empty" would seem to exclude the weight of any water, etc., I have seen some that do. With a GVWR of 15,500 pounds on the 3160 Elite and estimating the weight of the desired options at about 2,300 pounds, that will leave us with about 1,200 pounds for food, clothing, other gear and maybe water and propane. If excluded, that will force us to make cuts somewhere. Hoping the water and propane are included so we can order the trailer with the desired options and still take some food and clothes along.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
