I guess for me it's always on my mind as to how much we have in the camper and in the truck. The max weight limit is totally loaded and I can guarantee I'll never be fully loaded. Never haul full tanks or even half full tanks for that matter. We have empty cupboards all over the place. Eat off of paper plates instead of glass. In fact I don't think we have any glass kitchen ware in the camper. Don't over pack groceries either. I like to support the local community wherever we are going rather than pack for three meals a day for however long were gone.
Just the two of us and our dogs. Sure we can haul a toy now and it's either a kayak or a ranger which rings in at around 1250 if that.
Just cause there's space to store stuff doesn't mean we have to carry it along and then not use it!
