Gvw tag on a hard side?

[Mickey Bitsko]

Interested in a 8' hard side slide in truck camper and trying to determine dry weight.
Factory tag reads 2350 gvw.. doesn't make sense.
If I walk back typical payload ie; two adults, gas, food etc. Approximately
5-600lbs , that would make dry weight 1700-1800?
Any suggestions?

if you are talking about the weight of the camper the weight on the camper tag is usually with water and propane and nothing else. I have never seen a camper include people weight or food etc in gvw. I have also found everything is usually heavier than what the tag says if you actually weigh them.

Correct, but never seen a tag that reflects gvw on a slide in camper.
Just seems very odd. Could be this particular manufacturer does it this way.
Rv manufacturers fudge weight? ?
