How much cargo capacity do I need for TT?
I am looking at a Grand design imagine 2800bh. The sticker showed a UVW of 6900 lbs and a GVWR of 8500. Is 1500/1600 pounds of cargo carrying capacity decent for a 32’ TT? We are a family of 3 with ...

Based on CAT scale, we usually run about 2000lb of cargo.
Certainly it's possible to keep it to 1500lb but keep in mind, a lot of folks have no idea what their rig weighs, so they are likely running over their GVWR.
wow, I can't imagine 2000lbs of "stuff" haha I don't even come close to the GVWR of the 5th when we are loaded for a long trip.
Full 50gal water tank - 400lb (I don't always run full but sometimes you won't have water if boondooking)
2 propane tanks - 60lb
Full fridge and pantry - 300lb.
2 batteries - 140lb
That's around 900lbs of stuff most people don't think about when figuring payload.
Add clothes, grill, bike rack, generator, blocks, tools, etc... it's not hard to add another 1000lb, especially if taking a family of 4.
