Flyte63, Argo, the all aluminum camper, which started life as a stock C-11, weighs 2000 pounds completely built out. This is a verified number from a truck scale near the shop.
The exterior shell, with the new aluminum frame completed, weighed 1000 pounds.
Then the completed interior, with all the cooking, living, electrics, bath, tanks, and so forth added another 1000 pounds. This is with a full propane tank at 9 gallons/30 pounds, but without the water tanks - 40+ gallons - full.
You can see pics of this rig in earlier posts. I believe it has come out very close to the original Avion weight. Wet plywood gets really heavy!
Hope this helps.
