I don;t know what you all are hauling around with you but I struggled to get more than 600 pounds into my TT which can take much much more than that. And this is for Two people and two dogs.
And are we just unusually frugal? No we took everything we wanted and have NOT collected anything along the way in fact we have gotten rid of some things.
I really believe that people honestly over estimate the weight of what they are taking. I weighed every thing that went into the trailer. Kept a record and tallied it up at the end.
Keep in mind that I took real China and glassware and an entire set of Stainless steel cookware as well as a Cast Iron Dutch Oven. I took the vast majority of my bakeware and kitchen utensils. I took summer and winter clothes including about 4 coats and two hats. (that was just for me)
IE we didnt skimp.
And we still have storage space that is under-utilized.
