My posted loaded camper weight (10,400 lbs) includes full fuel tank, water, propane, dual 6V batteries, my wife and I, and all of our food and gear for the weekend, on the scale. The truck only weight was also with full fuel tank, my wife and I, and all the normal gear in the truck (7220 lbs), so the 3,180 lb camper weight is very accurate for our camper loaded. It's a little heavier than I was assuming, but it's manageable.
