Cargo Capacity Rating-Is it Enough

We are considering a 5th Wheel with a cargo capacity rating of 1650-which I know is before any options are added. We are concerned that this might not be enough. We plan to have a bike rack on the back for our bikes as well as a variety of normal gear. There are four of us camping and the longest trip we will be on is 10-14 days. Thoughts on this??

    ^^^^^^ agree
    Unless the 5er is real small that is minimal. The smallest I would consider in a normal 30' to 34' 5er would be 2,500#.

    It seems pretty low to me. How big of a fifth wheel are we talking about?

    We're a family of five and when you add in our water, propane, golf cart batteries, bikes and bike trailers, and just the stuff in general we have stored in there, I'm sure we're above 1650 lbs. My CCC is around 3000 lbs.
