Yeah and I think there’s quite a few owners that did their due diligence before purchase and still got a shock first trip to the scales....
Yep, I was one of them. I knew before I bought it the wet weight would be 3610. I figured 600 or so pounds of "stuff". Perfect, would put me a bit below the GVWR of 4342. How could I ever add 600 pounds in "Stuff" Hah!
What did we add:
4 solar panels & wiring
2 Lithium batteries & wiring
2000w inverter & wiring
Transfer switch
Subpanel to isolate fridge & converter from inverter
Roof vent covers for the two vent fans
A very heavy mattress topper, sheets, blankets, pillows
32" tv & swivel bracket
Flush water for the cassette toilet
Towels & washcloths
Clothes, shoes, hiking boots
A few(?) bottles of booze
Filled the fridge & freezer, esp. heavy cans & bottles
Lots of canned food
Pots, pans, dishes, glasses, silverware
Keurig coffee maker
Toaster
30A power cord + 30A extension cord
Water hose & extension water hose
Sewer hose + extension sewer hose & tubes to store them
Charcoal and grill
Lawn chairs
Fishing rods, waders, vest
Tools, spare batteries, safety kit
The list goes on and on. No one item weighs a lot, but add them all up....
