I do not have hydraulic levelers. The only significant weight additions I have added are the sumo springs and hellwig stabilizer bars (front and rear), so maybe 50 lbs of suspension upgrades. I have kitchen stuff, tool kit, some clothing and bedding, so maybe another 50 lbs of that stuff. That extra ~100 lbs is included in the RV weight along with my weight in the driver seat, 160 lbs.
Thanks for pointing out the GVWR of 12,500 lbs. That gives me 620 lbs to spare. With full 42 gallons of water (350 lbs), that leaves 270 lbs for extra weight. Probably good thing I dont add any extra weight like a spare tire, levelers.
I do tow a vehicle on a trailer sometimes and i make sure the tongue weight is around 500 lbs. I assume that does not count against your GWVR?
