Out of curiosity i did more math. If I dropped the water to 25 gallons and propane to 30 gallons (both more than enough for 90% of what I'd be doing) I'm down to 700lbs over weight (without actually weighing the truck and camper together -- which i will do when I actually have a camper). If there is water onsite so i don't need to haul any then I'm down to just 500 pounds over.
Though I'd have to add about 150lbs of tongue weight and of course food etc but that is starting to sound more reasonable. I'll have to look at other maths to see what I might be able to shed but mostly, I'll need a TRUE weight on the camper and truck.
I watched what I carried with my SRW as well. It can make a big difference. Full grey and black also makes a difference. Empty as soon as you can even though many recommend only emptying full.
