Micro Minnie FLX 2100BH Dry Hitch Weight

Does the dry hitch weight for the FLX series quoted by Winnebago include the lithium battery?

What are people seeing in terms of real world wet hitch weight?

Lastly, the 2022 FLX 2100BH was 430lbs dry hitch. In 2023, it went up to 486. Does anyone know why the change? Regular version also went up, but only by 18lbs (430 to 448).

weighed my FLX 2108DS today and it was 540#. Maybe 30 gals of water, black and grey empty. I do keep a couple of totes of camping gear in front compartment, total weight of those approx. 50#

When considering purchasing an RV, forget about dry weight unless that is how you plan to travel. Focus on gross vehicle weight rating and cargo carrying capacity. To find the hitch weight of a fully-loaded trailer, this is when you use the published dry weight and hitch weight. Calculate that percentage of hitch weight, then multiply the fully loaded weight by that percentage. It will not be completely accurate because how you load the trailer affects hitch weight.

I recommend using this online towing weight calculator. It is accurate, impartial, and removes salesmens hype from the decision.
