Newbie here! Can anyone help me determine the unloaded weight and model name of this cute little teardrop we just purchased? She is 5 ft wide with AC, DVD player, and no battery shut off switch

    @UncleStu
    Your 2016 T@G looks a lot like my Standard 2018. 
    I bought mine used in late 2018. 
    Put on around 21,000 miles with no major issues.  Hope yours provides the same. 

    I find it odd the you have no battery shut off switch. I would view that as a must have. Cost for one is around $20.

    Agreed. I need to add one so it’s easy to switch back and forth from 110AC to 12v.

    Do you have a wire access hole and two screw holes in the center of the diamond plate? (See where my shut off is located)

    >>Nope. The only thing in that area is a mount for the gas line, maybe a pressure regulator

    Per Google AI, "The 2016 T@G camper models may or may not have a factory-installed battery shutoff switch, as they began to be included mid-year in 2016."

    So, this info tells me that my new rig is older than mid 2016. Thanks

    Little guy released new models in April of the preceding year.  Your 2016 model was probably built in the second half of 2015 and at that time, a battery switch was not included.  The company frequently makes model changes mid- year.

    Check the label on the front frame.  It should note the build date.

    Correct, it says 2015 on the VIN plate. Thanks!
