Quadra told me around 190lbs. But with a 14,500 GVWR on the E450, I am under max by around 2,500lbs or so.

When I bought the rig, the curb weight was 11,559lbs, but I figure I have added several hundred pounds of "improvements" since then. I have to be mindful of not overloading the rig over time.

But I don't see doing any more projects that would significantly add any weight. If so, my DW will just have to leave some stuff home (like that is going to happen).

...well there is always the toad's trunk.

I did buy a set of heavy duty sway bars - which should arrive today... and while they are heavier than the stock ones, I don't think it would add more than 20~40lbs more weight.

Some coaches though only have 1,000lbs or so to play with (GVWR - curb weight) so in those instances, it is probably prudent to look at weights prior to installing a set of lifts.

At any rate, 4 sets of 2x12s probably weigh 50lbs which I no longer need to carry, so that will offset the added weight a bit.

...I should get the rig weighed.
