Thread: Momentum 351M with request

Momentum 351M with request
I have been using 2500# as what I thought as the "average" cargo capacity of the 351M. Is that an accurate or reasonable figure to use? I know that actual will be based on what specific options are on, or excluded, from a specific model, but since I am ordering I get to choose that weight by selecting the options I want. My problem is I don't live near a big city with multiple dealers to go look at a bunch of anything to compare various builds. GD publishes the Momentum empty weight as an "average UMW 13,600#". I just don't know what average is. How is that average computed with WHAT options. I have looked at a bunch of ads on dealership web sites and it seems most order and stock with generators, HappyJac bed, patio system, extra TVs, and a couple other "popular options". Very few if any full body paint or dual pane windows on the lots. Based on math, 16,800 minus 13,600 gives 3200# cargo capacity which seems different from the 2500 I have heard is typical and also have repeated.
Here's where it makes a difference. I am considering dual pane windows, expensive yes and heavier 300#. But I like them. If I am realistically working off the 3200 figure I am comfortable subtracting 300, if the 2500, then I am concerned that's too much loss of CC. Help please with accurate information.
Hopefully some 351M owners can check the weight sticker on the side for the UMV of their RV. And if you can give me what options were included that would be helpful. Don't need every option, just those that have some significant weight like generator, bed or patio systems, extra air conditioners, etc. Heat pumps don't change much, king beds I'm told are offset by removal of the night stands.

If you find a unit advertised with some options you would like (gen, etc.), call the dealer and ask them to tell you the UVW off the sticker on that unit. Should just take a minute, of course they will need your phone number and have to call you back . As they say, let your fingers do the walking.
Just a thought

They do weigh every unit as it comes off the production line, but I suspect the "average" configuration is "guided" by their marketing department towards the lighter end so they can list a higher CCC. Just my suspicion. That being said, I can tell you the numbers on our 2018 Solitude 310GK (Queen bed, no options) are pretty close;
Brochure UVW; 12,100#
Factory weight; 12,286# From trailers factory weight sheet and matches "UVW" on DOT sticker
Delivered weight; 12,600# Straight from dealer (CAT scales on the way home). Includes full(?) propane (2x40#), battery (50#) and 45.5 gallons fresh water (377#, drained and measured when I got unit home)
Delivered weight; 12,223# Estimate without water but with propane & battery. Close, but 63# under "factory exit" weight
Delivered weight; 12,093# Estimate without water, propane or battery. Very close to "Brochure UVW"
Note: When I say with or w/o propane I mean the actual propane. All weights include the tanks (~2x23# tare).

14048 was the UVW listed on the factory weight sheet I requested on the ‘19 351m I’m buying. So ask for the weight sticker to be emailed so you can be sure of ALL the numbers. 3 a/c’s, no dual pane, genny, 3 season.

Very similar to tamrick........our 2019 351M came from the factory with a 2508 lb CCC. Same goodies on board as his.
