That did not make me comfortable on some of the rough roads in Canada and Alaska, but I felt I needed to keep my fuel and water tanks full. On the AlCan while I knew exactly where the next gas station was, it did not always have fuel when I got there. The E-450 on my 2016 Axis gives me 2000 extra lbs to work with. I would not buy another E-350 Axis or Vegas,

Our 2014 Axis 24.1 is also one of the originals, also on an E-350. I've only scaled it once so I'm sure I'm heavier now than I was (um recliners instead of couch ?!?) but when I did scale it I was only at 11,500 lbs with full gas, water, and propane with 3 passengers on board. I would imagine with full waste tanks as well it would be approaching GVWR. (Not to mention that I've been pulling cars at least 3500lbs for the past few years but that only contributes to GCWR.)
Really haven't noticed any issues with the weight.
