Reality Check - Camper Weight
So I have a 2006 Bigfoot 25c9.4 that I carry on a 2005 ford f350 srw truck. The tag on the bigfoot says that it weighs 2400lbs (or there about) and I figure I've got about 1000lbs in the camper. The...

So why should you not air down a 19.5? Swapping out wheels & tires to drive on the beach does not sound very appealing to me.
The 19.5 commericals do not have a bead like a lt tire. Air it down and it could pop off the rim. When the poster stated about another set of wheels what they do is when going to the beach they install that set of tires at home and go to the beach. When they are traveling elsewhere and not the beach they leave on the 19.5.
Wow that Bigfoot is really heavy. My 10 2 CDSE Northern Lite is 3000# dry and that is the weight it was when it left the factory (the factory weighs every camper before it leaves and put a tag inside telling what the weight is). So when I'm loaded I'm right at 3700 to 4000# depending where we are going as to how heavy we are loaded. So I'm over my F350 GVWR by about max of 600#. I do run the 19.5 even though I could probably run my standard 18" on mine and be fine.
