Unladen weight info location

Greetings,

I'm trying to find the location of the sticker that indicates my unladen weight (RVIA). I need it to get new plates. I know what it is through the spec sheets from the manufacturer, however, that is not good enough for them. They want to see the actual sticker on my particular rig. Where can this be located? It doesn't appear on the sticker on the outside of the rig. 2015 Montana 3735MK. Thanks much!

Who is them? DOT, DMV, etc? Empty the rig fully and have them weigh it if they really need it. Not sure why the weight depends on your plates

If it's not on the rig on the drivers side front near the control door then someone may have removed it.

"Them" being SD DMV. I fully understand that I can empty my rig and weigh. However, I'm a fulltimer, workcamping in the SoCal desert area. Easier said then done to empty a very full camper. I'm just looking for easiest solution first. Hoping someone with the same rig may have found the info in their camper. Thanks for your response!

The information plate is located by the control door, however it only shows GVWR and GAWR.
Thanks for your response!

The sticker by the propane door on the drivers side is all I have. I also have duplicate sticker information on the inside of the screen door at the bottom. Some rigs have the information duplicated inside the kitchen cabinets on the door or the back wall.

Score! Found the one inside the screen door. I've never noticed it before. It has exactly what I need. I can't thank you enough for your response! Much appreciated!

Those are not the official weights, Just went through it on our last three RV including our Current Montana when Licensing. EVERY RV is weighed at the factory with the specific options on it. That weight is then filed at Keystone, a simple phone call to them they will release that info as well as a list of options yours shipped with. I called they emailed it to me. They scale EVERY RV for shipping reasons which is why they scale each unit.

Now your State Licensing may except it a generic door sticker here in WA I had to have the official documentation with my Vin directly from Keystone to get titled and licensed. They refused to use Published weights they needed actual physical weight documentation.
