I easily use up all 3,000 pounds of my trailer's carrying capacity. Its' not even hard to to. For one, it carries over 850 pounds of water. And 80 pounds of propane. About 160 pounds of batteries. Clothes, food for a week, camping gear, rock climbing gear, ski gear, mountain biking gear, a case of wine and 3-4 cases of beer, and I'm maxed out.
Wow that is a lot of cargo! You're traveling with 100+ gallons of water, 4 propane tanks, and 4 batteries?
We typically would be traveling with 5-10 gallons of water, 2 propane tanks, and 1 battery. Maybe 2 if we decide to upgrade. So that's more like 160 lbs for us, plus our "stuff."
