Had mine weighed last week when loaded for the trip....full fuel tank, about 10 gallons of fresh water (which is what I usually carry just for hand washing enroute, etc.) empty holding tanks, bins full with tools, chairs, umbrellas, small grill and accessories, fridge full of food and a large cooler full of bottled adult beverages... ;-) The only thing that wasn't in the coach when I weighed it was the DW and the dog (add another 160lbs). I was 50lbs under the total GVW of 20,500lbs, but about 100lbs over on the rear. I learned that I gotta shift some things from the rear to the front and shed some unnecessary stuff too. I run 100psi in all 6 tires...Goodyear G647, 245/70R19.5, with a max rated cold psi of 110 each. The inflation chart says I can run 85 front and 90 rear at those weights, so I figure I'm doing good keeping them at 100 each considering compensating for not having 4-corner weights and not having DW and dog.
Just my train of thought so you can think along that line.
