Thoughts on Eagle Cap 1165

Thank you for your input. Congrats on full timing!
Have you weighed the Truck with Camper? Curious what real world weights are.
Looking at the build your own EC says my camper would weigh 5825 wet. That's without generator or A/C. Adding the weight of our stuff and us it looks like we would be easily adding another 1200 pounds for full tank of fuel, people, dogs, possessions, solar batteries etc.
We are getting close to a 7,000+ pound load on a our 3500. I believe it's rated around 5,000 pounds. I think this would exceed the rear axle rating of 9750.
I really like the look of the Eagle Cap but I think that's just too far over trucks capacity for my comfort zone.
