No problem, glad I can help. Another thing I just thought of. The cabinets and everything inside the DP are built a lot better/heavier than what you'll find in most gassers. For example. My DP has a nice, heavy, ceramic double sink. Ceramic tile flooring, mirrors everywhere, nice heavy countertops etc.
The gassers use the lightest weight things they can put in there to save weight. You won't believe the quality of the tiffin. Also look at holiday rambler, monaco and newmar. They are all good names if you are on a budget like I am.
Another thing-Water capacity. If you mostly boondock like we do, water capacity is very important. We go out for 7 days at a time. Mine holds 90 gallons and if we're careful we shouldn't run out of water. The 28' gasser I just sold had about a 35 gallon water capacity. I don't think it was designed to carry more weight than that. Again, no problem carrying 3x that in a DP. Good luck this weekend.
