Heater did fine. :B
On the way home I hit up a CAT scale. I had 3/4 full water, full fuel, and empty grey/black tanks. We were otherwise pretty lightly loaded (end of trip so no food).
With no people in it, but one 35ish pound dog sitting on the passenger seat, our weights are:
Front axle: 3940
Rear axle: 8240
Total: 12180
Specs on the door sticker are:
Front GAWR: 4600
Rear GAWR: 9450
GVWR: 14050
So I've got 1870 pounds available, 660 in front, and 1210 in the rear. I wish Fleetwood had made the floor of the rear (very large) storage areas stronger. There is no way I could load more than a few pounds on those flimsy plastic tubs without them pulling out from the wall! :S I had assumed it was no big deal since I wouldn't want heavy stuff that far back, but with over 1000 pounds to play with...
I think some kind of structural support for those tubs is in order this winter! :B
