I can relate since we are in that group, interested only in small motorhomes under 25 feet, mostly travel light, and weigh under 300 pounds combined.

I’ll add that prospective buyers who have read this forum for a while should recall that it’s not that unusual for owners to make upgrades that add weight so should plan accordingly. Granted, most upgrades don’t add that much weight individually, but multiple upgrades combined can.

A couple of extra batteries, solar panels, a spare tire, a second air conditioner, leveling jacks or stabilizers, etc. can add up fast if starting with only +/- 1,000 pounds cargo carrying capacity.

Heavy cargo items like tools, air compressor, portable generator, hitch cargo tray, bicycles, cases of water, canopies, etc. are some of the items we carry often. While optional, they weigh more than our food, clothing, and personal items.

I completely agree that too many buyers don’t look at CCC before making an offer. And even if they did, new RVers probably don’t know how much they need.
