I wouldn't call a camper that's pushing 1700lbs DRY "lightweight" exactly... Especially when it exceeds the rated payload capacity of most every 15-series truck on the market, and even when it doesn't, doesn't leave you much wiggle room for anything else, let alone passengers.
Get the dry weight down to 1200lbs so I'm only exceeding my 1/2 ton truck's payload capacity by 500lbs when I'm loaded and ready to camp, instead of 1000lbs+. Then we'll talk.
