taking the plunge... Put a deposit on 2014....access to the bathroom without putting the slide out...priorities. ๐
I want to thank everyone for their comments and experiences. It made us do more research and question our 'experts'. The rv dealer representative came by tonight to take back the unit. The numbers were not right, and the dry weight was over 4500 lbs and although the springs may have been able to support the weight, the tires would not.
We are grateful to weight police ๐
my next post will be comments regarding the 1050S...

I do not have paperwork in front of me for exact #, but the weight advertised was correct. The scale at TA is the same scale the rv dealer uses. We are shoppijg for the f loaded tires both online and while running around thus weekend without success. We are waiting for the dealer/spring shop to do the right thing. i hope to have the paperwork to post what enhancements have been done. I have never encountered such......from both shop and large rv dealer..
Also, we are not novice campers, this willl be our first new truck camper in 7 years of truck camping...20 years with a tt. We have been blessed to have both at the same time. We have driven with campers through Monticello, upstate Ny to Equinox PA... New England....to the soft ocean sands of Long Islands beaches... now we want to be weekend explorers to FL coasts. i never state i am an expert because there is always something to learn from someone willing to share their experiences.

I do not know if this is of value but here is the information for my 2005 1191. You can see from the figures that the ready to go weight will be over 5000 lbs.
This is the sticker on the outside. It shows a "dry" weight of 4144 lbs.
This sticker is from an inside cabinet and shows a weight of 4449 lbs. It includes most of the options.
This image shows the weight of the truck with a full tank of diesel.
This image shows the weight of the camper on the truck mostly ready to camp. You would need to add my wife, dog,food and beer and misc. items say 500-700 more pounds.
I have only seen one 1191 on a SRW truck. Below is a picture. The owner said he purposely did not want a DRW truck. The modifications he made, if memory serves, were new rims and 19.5 tires, upgraded springs, air bags and shocks and sway bar. He said it cost more than a dually when he was done but he was happy. Here is a picture.
