No. I stand by it. Notice. I said STUFF, not water. I don't see HOW you could walk around in one loaded with 1500lb of STUFF. Especially a 18CK. Not a lot of storage space in there. Our 23T had every nook, and cranny full, including toys for the grand kids. and still only 550lb over dry. Unless of course, like Lucy, y'all collect rocks. We have been camping for 30 years, and if any thing. Our camper gets lighter, not heavier. The less I carry, the less I have to deal with. We don't use it, out it comes.
Based on the math it's 1500lbs of stuff without water, and everything is put away and not where you walk. I don't see now that's hard to understand. Heck I've probably got 20-30lbs of booze :-)
Based on who we camp with I would say we are closer to norm than you are... But that's all relative to location/style.
You comment is still ignorant, just because you don't camp that way doesn't mean it's not possible, practical, or normal, which is my point.
There will also be a big difference in campground camping and boondocking, as well as winter camping vs summer camping, 2 nights vs 14 night, etc.
Got a weight slip??? I do. and no it is not normal. I still would love to see the inside of a TT that has 1500lb of stuff loaded into it. Got to be spilling out every where. Cause 600lbs does.
BTW. The Apex sleeps 10, and still does not have 1500lb of stuff in it.
