KD,
Right now the RV is dry. No water or septic which is on the driver side, Also the generator is out which is another 150 lbs (just my guess). So you are correct. If wet and generator installed, I would say that the vehicle would have another 400-500 lbs on driver side.
I did not notice the problem when I had it wet and a non functioning generator installed. At the time I was focused on the engine and LP systems, tires and fuel issues.
I would say the inside is pretty evenly balanced cabinet wise and appliance wise
Good point. So I could try to add 500 lbs of weight to the driver side to see what happens. I'm winterized so I'd rather not add water til spring. But the passenger leaf springs really look stressed to me.
