I assume the above cargo weight does not include any optional equipment. Here's a partial list from a quick look:

Optional Equipment:
Dual-glazed, thermo-insulated windows
2 deep-cycle batteries (included w/Convenience Package)
Sofa sleeper (31D, 31K)
3-burner range w/oven

Slides add weight. I find it very difficult to believe that this would have greater O.C.C.C. than a 31' LD with standard equipment. There is no fixed definition of "standard equipment" in the RV industry.

It's amazing how difficult it is to find actual weights , even from owners who put  their rigs in scales. I'm not thinking a vast conspiracy. Maybe a teeny one? No, that's ridiculous. Just a coincidence

Ten days ago I sent an email to Winnebago asking about weights. Here is their response.

Last week we rented a Winnebago 25B for 10 days to camp in Yosemite Valley. By checking the label on the driver side door, it shows a OCCC number of 1640 lbs or 743 kg, which is way below the LD 27's 2800 lbs. With their 31D model, I guess it must be even worse than the 25B,  I am not sure how they manage to come up with the 2500 OCCC number.

In the current issue of MotorHome magazine, an article lists the Minnie Winnie 31G's OCCC as 1,440 lbs.  This included full water and water heater, fuel, and LP.  It did not include supplies or passengers.  The front axle's weight was 3,980 lbs and the rear axle's weight was 9,080 lbs for a total of 13,080 lbs on the 14,500 lbs chassis.  Btw, it has one (1) wall side.

And so it goes.
