I recently bought a 2011 Fun Finder x210uds. My question is what is the dry weight? 2012 and 2013 units are listed on the internet at 3570 lbs. There is no listing for the 2011 year anywhere including JD Powers. It's as if the 2011 X210uds doesn't exist! I know it's a 2011 unit as it has a build date of 2/2011. Would it also have a dry weight of 3570?
 
I thought that I had answered aa question much like this before but I can't find it . I have a 2011 210wbs and with my modification I come in at 3790# fully loaded with all my equipment full tanks tools, water everything I come in at 4600 approximately. Both propane full tank of water 2 6volt batteries. The only difference between your trailer and mine would be you have a dinette, mine came with a couch.
 
Why do you need to know the “dry weight”? It’s a kinda useless number since once purchased and brought home, the TT never used in the “dry weight” mode. However, I think that a very close approximation of the dry weight can be determined using information on the vehicle information sticker and the tire and loading information sticker. Subtract the “never exceed” cargo weight on the tire and loading information sticker from the GVWR weight on the vehicle info sticker and that should provide a reasonable estimate of the “dry weight”. I say estimate because there are differences in opinion as to what is considered cargo. I.E. is propane considered cargo? Is the battery considered cargo? The most important weight is the actual weight is that when the TT is loaded with everything one is expecting to use on the trip. That determination may require a trip to a local scale.

Just curious as to the dry weight as JDpowers lists dry weights for travel trailers as well as values, but no listing for 2011 x210uds. If I use the vehicle information sticker as you suggested, I get 3885 lbs which curiously is the dry weight of the 2013-14 F210uds. The 2012-13 X210uds is listed at 3570 lbs. Just thought there might be an owner of another 2011 x210uds that could tell me what the dry weight was told to them when they bought their unit. I agree the dry weight is not the weight that matters when towing.
