How much do toppers weigh?

I got a ARE Topper MPluse cab high series with the vented WinDoors and love it. Just that the truck rides a little smoother now. Not complaining, just I had about 200lbs back there before the topper and really didnt notice it, and the topper makes the truck ride smoother? Everyone I ask says they weight around 200. I starting to think its a little heavier! Without the topper I had 2600lbs on the rear axle, I'll have to get it reweighed soon, just wondering if anyone else knows what they weigh.

I'm guessing mine is around 200# also.
I've taken mine off to run some errands and I noticed my ride is much rougher.
I had six 5 gallon cans of diesel in the rear of the bed and it smoothed right out again.
diesel fuel = ~7# per gallon...so 5 gallons ~35#......so 6 ~ 175#
