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
~10,589 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,022 lb + fresh water (92 gal, full) 767 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 around11,770 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)12,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,800 lb (17% — high, eats payload)
Cargo capacity2,978 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 33 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 2900's published weights changed mid-run.

FINDING ONE

Findable — a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Dutchmen is a volume manufacturer; 10 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

The only slide-out Rubicon of the first generation, on 16-inch wheels and a 10-inch I-beam frame. GVWR derived as shipping weight plus carrying capacity.
