Thanks RavensFan24 for your experiences with the Tahoe :) Sounds a lot like what we have been experiencing with ours, but we don't do much highway so don't get many passing trucks.
Huntindog, how do I know I will not carry that much stuff? I don't, but we are not new to camping, we have the same gear we had with our Jayco X213 (which we had for 5 years) and that was well below 1000lbs so highly doubt we will be adding another 1000lbs of stuff in. We do weekend camping in a less than 2hr drive from home, not going to Florida for 6 months. Adding more gear as the trailer gets bigger truly depends on each person's mindset. We have always kept gear as light as possible and been very strict on that, even if we were well under capacity. As you said, it is just too easy to add things here and there so we simply avoid doing that.
Thanks for all the input!
