I don't think a single person, particularly a male, would load an 8' TC with 1,000 pounds of water, food, and gear. If you were taking a wife and kids then that would be likely. I suspect you might only add 500 to 700 pounds of stuff.
That is probably correct. My camper goes 1750 dry and when we hit the road it's 2200-2450 depending on which******we are taking for that particular trip. We don't haul much water though, and the dogs only go 30 between them. If it was just me I doubt I'd carry more than a couple hundred pounds of stuff, I got along fine with a 50 pound backpack for most of my life.
