FWIW, I don't think manufacturer's dry weight ratings are worth a hoot. It's really what you roll out of the chocks that counts. In my rig, the functional weight is 21,300, which is 700 under max gross...good enough for me. Toad is 3400, which is 1600 under hitch rating: what with EvenBrake, we're okay.
Junk in the coach and basement storage accumulates quickly. JMHO
Yes, a lot of storage is nice, but you can fill it very quickly!
Just doing a quick inventory in my head I can come up with 500lbs. And I know there is another 500 in there that’s unnecessary. 10 chairs? Really! Washers and Bocce ball I never play. Bags I only play once a year? And why do I have a 10 year old Xbox over the bed? I put it in there when we traded in the TT and never took it out.
Why do I have 7 pieces of outdoors cooking equipment? Small Weber charcoal grille, Black stone flattop, LP griddle, LP grille, LP table top stove, electric table top stove, and a tripod grille for campfires!
So out it all comes before our next trip. Then I will weigh it again.
