cargo weight

Has anyone ever weighed how much cargo they carry in a full time rig? What is the average?

It depends on how you travel, or =if= you travel. Full-timers are likely to travel pretty heavy, since that's their literal home. Weekenders will tend to travel pretty light most of the time, but may travel heavier depending on the length of the trip and their destination. I know I do. Personally, I have 4k+ of CCC and don't know how I could get that much in my FW, even with 3 full 45 gal holding tanks. Speaking of tanks, don't forget that there could come a time where you might need to travel with full, or partially full, tanks, and that needs to be taken into account. For a short trip, probably not an issue if care is taken, but for a longer trip, you =do= have to be aware of it. I once had to drive down from our annual boondock trip with near-full black and grey tanks because the dump site I normally use was closed and I didn't want to make a 10 mile round trip to the next-closest dump. Yes, I =could= have dumped the grey, but it was raining cats and dogs and it was muddy enough without me adding to it. :-)
