Our 345BHS is a '07. Loaded scale weights are 11,600, with 2600 on the pin and 9000 on the axles. I can't figure out what we could possibly put in there to get to the rated 14K unless we started an anvil business. The bunk room sold us too, as I will be darned if I am going to tippy toe around in the morning in my own trailer. The DGD and parents can go in there and shut the door, and all is well. It's very hard to find the right RV used, trucks are everywhere if you need to trade up. The 7.3 will do the job, but I'd feel better about a f350 long bed or a F350 LB with hips. I have seen a SRW long bed 02 F350 7.3 2WD with a GVWR of 9900lbs.
