How about 18 or 24 gal on Propane at 4 lbs/gal.
The surprising thing is how much our "stuff" weighs. Clothes, food, drinks electronics, toys add up to 1,500 to 2,000 lbs in a hurry. Fortunately we now have Kindles so we saved about 200 lbs in books we used to carry, just in case. . . :)
When weighing it is best to get 4 corner weights. You might be borderline okay front axle to back axle and find you are 500 lbs or more off left/right. This could overload a wheel by 500 lbs (not trivial) even though the axle is fine.
Best to have the dealer provide you with 4 corner weights as a condition of purchase
By no means should you believe anything a salesman tells you that sounds favorable, he isn't going to driving down the road with you and your family.
