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
~6,995 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people
dry weight 5,923 lb + fresh water (37 gal, full) 309 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb — capped at its own rating. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
You want a tow rating around7,775 lb (10% margin)

Tongue weight, loaded~706 lb (10%)
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 24BSE's published weights held steady.
