How do I stay under RAWR in Dynamax REV 24RB?

The main reason I posted is because I searched the forums for info on cargo weight before buying because the manufacturers don't post that info because buyers wouldn't understand it. I would have understood front/rear dry weight and it would have saved me a $62000 mistake and potential lawsuit.

I bought the REV to use as a van with a kitchen sink and bath. We all love it. It suits our needs better than anything else I looked at. If we camp it will be 2 and lightweight cargo except maybe a scooter on rear hitch which would make rear axle over weight. If we dry camp 40gal+40gal holding tanks 1/2 full adds 350 lb to rear axle. If we do a family outing to the beach 6 passengers and light beach gear overloads rear axle.

I don't endorse overloading or anything. But there are varying degrees of offense here. Pack the family in for a short trip to the beach in Florida-probably at lower speeds-is a pretty benign trip for an RV. Make up your margins with lower speeds, attentive driving, and fastidious tire care. Be especially pro active in keeping the tires fresh..not let them get old and rotten. Be proactive about any scheduled maintenance of the rear wheel bearings (if any). Travel with as limited water aboard as possible.

I'd think twice about scooter on rear hitch. I don't even do that with lots of extra capacity. Maybe best to pull the scooter on a small trailer. You do have some extra capacity there.
