I too would be be very hesitant, but I've thought about this a bit.

I'm fairly sure but not totally sure that a small percentage of the total vehicle cost could be applied to making any suspension carry any amount you wanted to throw money at.

I know I have a radical attitude about the rv being just a kit and how we should finish it how WE like not how some wonk decided to do it to meet a price point.

I'm not sure an rv overweight+- when empty would worry me too much because I could change that limit to whatever I wanted.

I'd probably let the floor plan dictate because it has lots and lots of custom parts needed designed and executed.(floor plans are easy to change but I think suspension would be easier and already engineered)

What would worry me more is the dumbass designer who maxed it out and what other stupid half steps he might have taken.
