2015 or 2016 Cougar 333MKS

I'm considering getting a new 333MKS fifth wheel to replace my 2011 327RES and have a couple of questions.
1. what's the size of the water heater tank, is it just the 6 gallon or 10, I can't find it in the literature.
2. what is the tire model?

Thanks, one more question, the web page indicate the hitch weight is 1690 lbs. while the brochure shows 1950 lbs. Does it mean it's 1950 lbs when loaded or there's a mistake somewhere?

Apparently it's an error/typo on the website - both brochures (2015 & 2016) show a 1,950 lb pin weight. Even the 2014 brochure shows a heavier pin weight than 1690 lbs (at 1850 lbs). Your dealer can contact the local Cougar Rep & verify the correct number for the 2015-16's.

2016 East Brochure

The shipping weight & pin/hitch weight, as listed, is for an empty/unloaded/dry trailer with a standard build (i.e. no options/upgrades included). Adding factory options (depending on how many, their weight & location of course) may also increase the shipping weight & pin weight numbers from what's listed in the literature.

As Javi stated, loaded & ready to travel, his 333MKS pin weight is several hundred pounds more than the "listed" weight... which is fairly typical.

to the forum Sonic, and good luck with your purchase.

We just had the same research issue a couple of months ago. Our 2016 ended up several hundred pounds over the <1900 stated, but I don't know exactly what it is. Thanks to the experienced people on this forum, we got enough facts before we bought trailer or tow vehicle. Read some other threads on the topic.

Ended up choosing a 2016 Montana HC 343RL for the 10 Gallon heater, better tires and bigger underbelly storage.
