how much does all that stuff really way?

I weighed our 5er on the way home from picking it up "empty" and it was 10,080 lbs. After adding our stuff to it, took it back across the scales and it was 11,260 so we added 1180 pounds of "stuff" to it.

What starting number do you mean? The advertised dry weight? Or the yellow sticker? Or an actual initial weighing after taking possession?

I have 400 pounds difference between my advertised dry weight and my yellow sticker.

Actual user-added weighed amounts, I have 1,600 pounds over the yellow sticker. BUT, I was light on a bunch of stuff and believe that I'm a good 600 pounds heavier with a regular load. Haven't re-weighed yet, though.

Our TT toyhauler can carry 150 gallons (over 1200#) of water and fuel plus atvs makes adding a couple thousand pounds of weight no biggie. When we are not boondocking or bringing the toys, we are just over 7K, loaded for riding and weeklong camping we are 10K.

I'm around 15-1800, easy.
But I also tow a TH.

Not difficult to get into the 2000 pound range with a 5th wheel. Most have very large basements and for some reason any empty space gets filled.

I guess it depends on how large the RV is and what you bring along. Some might have very little and have 500 or less. Some own a toy hauler and have quads, MC’s, and toys that can weigh thousands before you even add in the weight of everything else loaded. We have about 1000 lbs. total loaded and fall right in the middle of your range.

For us, 2,000 is right on, including a generator and W/D set.

I dry weighed my last rig when we took delivery, and periodically thereafter and it grew by 2,000 lbs. When we bought this one I did the same and it was almost exactly 2,000 added to the gross. If I count water on this one, it's almost 2,900 lbs.

We are not full timers, so our cargo would be considered light in the scheme of things.
