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
~7,092 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 6,000 lb + fresh water (35 gal, full) 292 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 around7,880 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)9,810 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,194 lb (17% — high, eats payload)
Cargo capacity3,810 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 295SBW's published weights held steady.
