COBOZ- The 865 is a great unit. We looked at one a few years a ago. You might look at the NorthStar brand. They are lighter in weight and well made.
I hear you on the rear kitchen floor plan. We like the concept but not much offered with it. We were close to pulling the trigger on an Adventurer but cooled off with hearing of quality issues and I took it to heart when one of the well respected dealers in the north east discontinued offering them.
This is interesting because most people that have Adventurers are very happy with them. Numerous posts on this forum and others. My dealer here sells Eagle Cap, Adventurer, Northern Lite, Host, Northstar and they said for the price point and features, Adventurer is pretty good. Granted, with every brand there will be issues.

What tire/wheel combo gives your 8400 lbs of capacity?
Did you weigh your rear axle empty? I only ask because I ended up with 19.5's (which have a wheel limit of 9000 lbs and my tires have 12,800 lbs) so I just want to clarify that point first and foremost.
I could not find wheels or tires that gave me 8200 lbs of capacity (which is my real world Wolf Creek 840 weight ready to camp with my Polaris RZR on the flatbed....
just be sure your numbers are acurate as I thought I would be 6500-6700 lbs going by posted numbers.
Not sure if this was directed at me...but nowhere did I say my tire combo was 8400...I said 7400. Tires are 3700 apiece...minus my 3200 current axle weight, I have 4200 of weight I can safely add.

I lucked into my camper from a dealer in Washington state who discounts deep as the selling season goes on. It was a great price. The unreasonable Adventurer dealer is still trying to sell the very same camper I looked at seven months ago. He knocked the price down a few hundred bucks.
