The dry weight for the Bronco was advertised as 1056#, and I knew that the load capacity of our truck was listed at 1350, so I had a pretty good idea going in that just with the camper and us, we'd be bumping up against the top of that limit.
1) Extra battery ~45 lbs
2) 10 gal water ~80 lbs
3) Awning ~20 lbs
4) Solar panel ~25 lbs
5) Propane ~20 lbs
Total before gear, food and passengers = ~1250 lbs
Leftover weight capacity = ~100 lbs
After you add the weight of the passengers, food and gear, I'd say you had enough information to know that the camper was going to exceed the weight capacity by about 30% or so.
