We pack pretty much all we need and have for several years. Our 5'er has a dry sticker weight of 7185lbs and last time over the scales we were 8500lbs w/o water. Full tank of fresh water adds 500lb more. So usually we run with about 1500lbs of stuff since we pack some fresh water when we travel. Another thing about that weight is some of the stuff we pack used to go in our truck when we had a TT. Now we just put it in the 5'er because it has the storage capacity and is easier to get at as opposed to climbing in and out of the truck. It's still the same amount just rearranged. Our 5'er, while being on the light side empty has a huge CCC. 4315lbs, so I never worry about what I take. One of the things I looked for was a high CCC in the 5'er. Some of the lighter ones only have 16-8000lbs of CCC. As you can see we would be maxed out. That puts a lot of extra wear and tear on the 5'er.
