Last week we bought a Phoenix Cruiser 2350. We had been looking at small Cs for over a year and looked closely at the Sprinter based units, which are very impressive. We decided to stick with the Ford based C because of lack of comfort with weight and design limits of the Sprinters. Just our ignorance, but having owned several small motorhomes we just intuitively know how to pack and not overload those more familiar Fords and Chevys. Again, not knocking Sprinters (almost bought a View), but just decided not to do that. Old dogs and knew tricks or something.
We have had Class B for years prior to this new unit and with Bs you learn to take less and enjoy more. It took years to learn that lesson. We travel just the two of us with a dog.
Since we prefer to boondock, we travel with full tanks. That adds a lot of weight. The only time I actually weigh stuff is when I use a cargo hitch carrier. I weigh and try to distribute the load evenly from side to side.
I made calculations on our new Phonenix Cruiser from the specs and just decided to not worry about it because I had ample room for error. This is a much more precise decision with a trailer, of course.
