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
~6,711 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 5,502 lb + fresh water (49 gal, full) 409 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 around7,460 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)7,600 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~939 lb (14%)
Cargo capacity2,098 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 60 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 2454BH's published weights held steady.

Coachmen (Mixed tier): Coachmen's Azdel-walled ultra-lite: vacuum-bonded aluminum-framed sidewalls, fully walkable roof, 200W solar and a tankless water heater standard — better bones than the Catalina/Clipper tier, though Forest River parts supply and dealer service are the recurring owner complaint.
