Does a new Lance 1191 really only weigh 3500? I think my tag shows something like 4300 and it really weighs more than that. I can't remember exactly what it weighs since I care more about GVW but it is more than 4300.
I can tell you a 2011 Lance 1050S with A/C, generator, and rear awning with full 20 lb. LPG tanks and no water weighs 4,550 lbs.
Add water, food, clothes, towels, sheets, toiletries, reading material, laptop computer, Kindle, cell phones and chargers, extra 12 volt battery and you will pass through 5,000 lbs. very easy. And I forgot me and the wife. OMG - don't even mention carrying my daughter and 1-1/2 year old grandson and his stuff.
I WAS comfortable with my 1050S on a 3500 SRW with 19.5" wheels and Load Range G tires with Stableloads and Hellwig sway bar. But it is much more comfortable on a 3500 DRW.
There is just NO WAY I would load a larger TC on a 2500 without 19.5" wheels and tires and other additions to handle the load. Plus, I would maintain a less than speed limit on most roads. I have traveled 200,000+ miles with a TC on a 2500 & 3500 SRW with a Lance 1030, 1055, & 1050S.
