Over weight? Does it bother you?
From spending time in here lots of people have said that they were over weight with the camper. I'm over weight. Does it worry you? Does it keep you from going where you want to go? How much ...

I’ve never been over GVWR for my F450 that is 14500. The F450 turns much tighter than even a SC F350 SRW. Of course, the brakes are much better as well.
I was overweight a few years ago. I found the Atkins diet to be helpful. ;)
Coincidentally, it corresponded with buying a SRW. At the time that I was looking, the generally school of thought was 10% wasn’t a big deal. I’d basically agree with that. Still, I added 19.5s for more room for error for the tires. I owned a SRW because a DRW simply wouldn’t work for my DD at the time. The parking garages just didn’t have enough room for a DRW/CC.
Later, I traded for a DRW/CC because even the SRW/SC was too big when I changed jobs. I will say the DW was more bothered by the SRW than the DRW. That’s pretty amazing considering that we carry absolutely everything we want including towing a TT for one trip with the additional people. DW drives and drove both.
I never felt comfortable doing that with the SRW. Instead, we carried the minimum which included minimum water and allways dumpted our tanks as soon as possible. A full or nearly full Black tank was really impactful on handling for the SRW. The DRW doesn’t care.
