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
~10,764 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,288 lb + fresh water (81 gal, full) 676 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 around11,960 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)11,815 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,872 lb (17%)
Cargo capacity2,527 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 25 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 321BH's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
