The Shadow Cruiser 280 was miscommunicated by the manufacturer and updated recently. Mine says 5720 for dry weight, and 1835 payload on the new sticker, and 7555 GAVW

Great work! The only suggestion I can offer is that your spreadsheet seems to use published dry weights to base your loaded and tongue weights on. You will find that most of these dry weights can be quite "optimistic". This only matters when you start getting closer to the max ratings of your Tow Vehicle.

.85 of TT GVWR has been suggested as a "high" weight to work with (based on a small sample per Ron Gratz).

A spreadsheet was an excellent idea.

Thanks for the feedback, new units added.

I also made more values customizable. On the capacities sheet you can now enter your own estimated additional cargo weight as well as your own % of tongue weight transferred to trailer axels via WDH.

Right now I'm leaning Passport 3050BH due primarily to the favorable weights. But I'll be hitting the RV show here in Houston this weekend to walkabout and will no doubt wish and wash quite a bit on that.

Love our Keystone Cougar 304BH but that model is no longer in production, so my specs won't be much of use. But if I was to stay w/ the Cougar line I'd be seriously looking at the 30BHSWE 6,906Lbs shipping weight.
