Extra weight question

Question,
We have a Jayco 2020 232 RBW RME which says 4450 dry weight. My question is, when i look at other similar model's, they all state 4170 dry weight?
Where's my 280 extra pounds coming from.
Nothing special other than the Rocky Mountain Edition RME, but I'm comparing to other RMEs???
Thanks

I've heard that the frame can be somewhat different from one to the other and that could account for the extra/lack of weight. Whether that really accounts for a couple of hundred pounds, or more, I'm not sure.

Dry Weight doesn't include that.
I would say the wood and materials used where different. Wood could still have been wet? The rolled steel as extra slag. 400lbs extra on my current trailer.
