WHAT ONE COSTS
—price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~5,826 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 4,701 lb + fresh water (39 gal, full) 325 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 around6,475 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)6,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~892 lb (15% — high, eats payload)
Cargo capacity1,299 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 67 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 23D's published weights changed mid-run.

FINDING ONE

Findable — a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: 10-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

The corner-bed 23 that later became the 23CB; a lot of living space in a short dual-axle trailer.
