GVWR; how close are you?
I guess there is no way to post a poll on this forum. But with several threads discussing ways to increase the carrying capacity of trucks used to haul slide in campers I got to wondering how everyon...

Great thread!
I'm one week away to make my final decision and I'm freaking out about the weight of the 865 and 811 Arctic Fox. I have a 2001 F350 dually and realized that if I buy any of those two models, I'm going to be overweight. Am I missing something? How can I be overweight with the lightest floorplans and a dually? My GVWR is 11500 pounds, my truck weighs 7500lbs, the 811AF weighs 3300lbs, which leaves me with only 700lbs. I know for sure I'll add minimum 1300lbs of cargo.
The 865AF isn't far behind, it weighs 3000lbs.
Since, I'm going to drive in bumpy, mountainous, dangerous windy curvy roads, I'm a bit concerned about those numbers.
I looked at Lance, Adventurer and their numbers are not the lightest either...
Very surprising to me... I guess those trucks are built to tow not too carry heavy loads.
