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
~7,318 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 5,834 lb + fresh water (82 gal, full) 684 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 around8,135 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)9,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,025 lb (14%)
Cargo capacity3,166 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 52 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 1905's published weights changed mid-run.

FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Dutchmen is a volume manufacturer. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

Smallest Rubicon with a 14-foot garage, a half-ton-towable toy hauler with no slide and no HappiJac. GVWR derived as shipping weight plus published carrying capacity.
