A few things I haven't seen mentioned

1) Mfrs. weight disclosure may or may not be accurate.
The dry weight is commonly higher due to dealer spec add-ons.
Common add-ons vary by region/dealer. i.e 13.5 vs 15K BTU AC.


2) If you dry camp a lot, allow for on board water.

Those are a few things that can chew up your Cargo Carrying Capacity very fast.
