Ha!  120 lbs total and that was a very rough estimate.  I keep the crates under the slider when traveling and outside at the site.

4 gals drinking water (empty for trip home)
Small solar light
Collapsible wash bucket
One-burner propane stove with two bottles of propane
Coleman camp-stove toaster
Rope/bungees 
Hammock
2 collapsible trash/recycling baskets
Clothes pins
Rain & fleece jackets
Flip flops & water shoes
Tarp
Stove grate and propane hose for Road Trip grill
Hatchet/hammer
Sven folding saw
American flag mount (modified shower suction cup handle)
2.5 gal collapsible water container
2 Foam kneeling cushions (for picnic table)
Rain cover for the crates
Wag bag 
4 trash bags to cover removed Jeep Doors

We are moving to a Blackstone grill so the Coleman Road Trip and accessories will be gone.

We are also breaking up the gear for boon-docking or hookups so we only bring what we need.

I wondered too, what dry weight meant, so asked FR.  They said it was just the camper, no propane, or battery and of course no water.  Not what the dealer told me...but I have since weighed if loaded and we're fine.
