Actual weights of my Sunseeker 2300

X2!!

Those are great numbers because you have a small Class C, but built on the heavy duty Chevy 4500 chassis. This combination gives you plenty of headroom on braking power, cooling capacity, and best of all - no concerns whatsoever on how much weight you want to load on board.

Your situation is very similar to our RV setup, which is a 24 foot non-slide Class C on the heavy duty Ford E450 chassis. We purchased our combination intentionally so as to have plenty of leeway on performance, handling, and weight carrying capacity. We can travel with no concern for weight ... all tanks full or empty makes no difference. For what it's worth, we never leave home without a full fresh water tank, a full propane tank, and a full fuel tank. During a trip between camp sites before we have dumped the black water and grey water tanks, we sometimes are traveling with the heaviest situation - a full fresh water tank, a nearly full propane tank, a nearly full fuel tank, a nearly full grey water tank, a partially full black water tank, and .... maybe a couple of hundred pounds of rocks (we're rock hounds). However knowing that sometimes we will be in this situation, we always travel with tire pressures that allow up to our full chassis GVWR load of 14,050 lbs. if necessary - 65 lbs. pressure in the front tires and 80 lbs. pressure in the rear tires.

Your Chevy 4500 probably even has another nice advantage that our Ford E450 has over their lighter weight models (the Chevy 3500 and Ford E350) ... a rear differential gear ratio better suited for towing should you ever want to, and better suited for pulling up grades in mountainous areas.

You have a very nice rugged worry free combination there!

P.S. Does your small Class C have that great Chevy 57 gallon fuel tank in it?
