I was excited to see the OP's post. My wife and I are soon to be 27.5 owners also. It seems most of my concerns/questions have been answered and that's great. But I still have one more...With a gross dry weight of 9650lbs and a GVWR of 13400lbs that leaves 3750lbs for it's carrying capacity...Almost 2 tons of additional carrying ability, how is that possible? I've RV'd for more than 45 yrs. and have never ever carried that much additional weight. Isn't 1200lbs plus any fluids a little more reasonable..? I can't imagine traveling with more than 10 gallons of fresh water and minimum in your other tanks. thanks ahead for your comments.
