When folks ask for a general guideline of weight "over the factory brochure weight", I am one that throws out the number, "1000 pounds".
For instance, my funfinder ( cruiser RV ), which is a 2012 model, has a stated dry weight in the ad brochure that does not include options. So just the fact that mine has an awning, A/C, spare tire and TV set, adds some pounds to the brochure stated weight. In my case, it added about 450 pounds. I've added another 400 pounds or so of stuff, and I have removed about 100 pounds worth of bunk bed. Bottom line n my case is I am almost 900 pounds over the brochure weight, and I travel solo, and with empty water tanks.
