That leaves 1400 lbs. Is this enough?
By the time you add passengers, a 500 lb hitch capacity, there is maybe only 500 lbs left for gear.
It is one of the most popular models, so I am wondering if I am missing something.
Check your numbers; I believe you're shorting yourself. 80 gallons of gas @ 6 lbs/gallon = 480 lbs. 75 gallons of water @ 8 lbs/gallon = 600 lbs. Total = 1080 lbs. Figures may vary a bit depending on temperature/pressure, but should be quite a bit less than 1300 lbs.
