Thanks Barney,
I'll show that to my husband :)
(p.s my husband is retired U.S Navy, and our youngest son (19) just enlisted back in June..just now finished up 'A' school)
I had suspected as much with regards to the 1500's or 1/2 ton pick ups and that's why we decided to look at the 2500 series..
I was able to find the 'specs' label inside the cabinet directly under the kitchen sink :)
this is how the label reads..
GVWR is 7400 lbs.
minus
UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight)is 5500 lbs
*it says this includes the tongue weight/pin weight and axles
minus
fresh water (50 gallons) @ 8.3lbs per gallon is (415 lbs)
minus
propane weight 14 gallons @ 4.2 lbs (59.64 lbs)
=
CCC (cargo carrying capacity) 1425.36 lbs
I've been learning a lot of information this past week by asking these questions and I'm very grateful for all of your replies.
While I'm sure it will be several months before we have everything in place as far as the 'truck' is concerned, I am so looking forward to taking out new 'beast' out on the road.
I still have much to learn though so I'm sure I will be throwing out a bunch of additional questions...if your all willing to put up with me :P
