You are kidding yourself. If the manufacturer’s weight is accurate at 6408 just adding a full tank of water will add 408 pounds - 49 gallons x 8.34 pounds per gallons. Plus propane and batteries you are at 7000 with no stuff...chairs, bikes, food etc. Another 6 gallons in the water heater...49 pounds.

I don't often travel with water, I would venture a guess that a lot of people don't either. Also, before we had our current trailer and 3 kids we packed pretty light. Couple of pounds of food, couple of pounds of clothing, propane and battery and a couple of chairs. We could easily pack less then 600 lbs of gear.

Now, with a 34' trailer and 3 kids we carry EVERYTHING with us, every trip. We've got the beach umbrella in the front pass thru even if we're going to the lake. We've got 4 camp chairs all the time, even if 2 of them never come out for a weekend trip. We've got the Weber grill even if we plan to make sandwiches for lunch and go out for dinner. I've got plenty of 4x6 blocks for jacks, 2 sections of dog fence, 2 folding tables, a hatchet, propane torch for starting fires, blankets and electric heaters even in the summer, etc. If I had a smaller trailer or a lighter truck, I could pack and unpack as needed. Since I don't have to worry with weight, we are lazy and bring everything now.

Don't assume the OP is going to bring too much stuff. Perhaps a gentle warning about how weights can add up would be sufficient in the future, rather than a snarky post.
