I am searching for an EXCEL Website or EXCEL File for RV'ers. No matter, if you have a Class A, B, C, or Trailer, at any time. A person hitting the roads should do some Calculations.
So I'm asking is there a website to input the numbers: Vehicle curb weights, Fuel, Passenger weights, Holding water, GVWR, GCWR, UVW, etc.
This is to understand the max load of the RV, before hitting the road? Would anyone know of an RV Calculator for working all of this prior to a trip?
Hmmm.. I am thinking that if you are this close to your max weight that it is time to start re-evaluating every item in your rig and removing the excess unused or seldom used items..
The first time I RVed I loaded everything but the kitchen sink, before the second trip, removed every item that we didn't use the first trip and haven't added much if any at all since then.. Heck, I even took 4 bins of firewood, burnt half a bin, now carry one bin of fire wood.. First trip took most of my tools, second trip bought small toolbox filled it with basic few wrenches, screw drivers and small ratchet set..
Maybe a different story if you are fulltiming and have no other place to store your items but in reality for the most part the average RV owner can easily toss 50% of the stuff they drag around and never miss it..
