The canned goods, gas grill, pots and pans, and aluminum folding table and chairs are way heavier than the clothes will be. Then there is also, how do I delicately say this, the "pudgy" factor. It's easy to hit 1000 lbs total above chassis weight.

I usually travel with about 1/4-1/3 tank fresh water and dump each morning before pulling out and have around 1/2-3/4 propane. Next trip, I will get a weigh ticket and see how it goes. I did remove the tables that are stock items since last time, so that should remove 30 lbs or so. We are using folding tables now. Much lighter and easier to stow. After the New Year, I will start working on the "pudgy" factor.
