You will have trailer tongue weight taking away capacity. Maybe 500 lbs?
How much water do you plan to carry at 8.3 lbs per gallon (roughly 100 lbs per 12 gallons of water)?
Two dual-purpose bikes at 250-300 lbs each?
The weight adds up fast...
About 300 pounds on the boat trailer tongue weight. 37 gallons of water....about 300 pounds. 600 pounds for the two bikes.
1200 pounds gone there, so yeah. Still leaves some capacity, but not ideal. I guess every truck camper goes through these weight issues. Taking off some of that 900 pounds of flatbed wood would help.
