Bad logic. Unladen Vehicle Weight includes full fuel tank.
OCCC for the Axis (and the Sprinter Via) are both about 1500# from my research (actual yellow stickers on built coaches).
You have 1500# to use with any and all of the following: flesh, water, gear.
Not bad anything. My numbers were based on a "Dry Weight" of 10,300#, and a GVWR of 12,500# taken from an article by a reviewer of the vehicle late last year. The Dry Weight definition doesn't include any fluids, including fuel. I used individual tank capacities, and standard fluid weights, to calculate the approximate "Curb Weight" which includes fuel, water, etc., but not the flesh and gear. Unloaded/Unladen Vehicle Weight is closer to the Curb Weight than Dry Weight, by definition. This website is pretty good for general info. It also has a fairly decent trailer towing weight calculator, and some other pretty useful info.

Since you've seen the stickers I'll assume your number is accurate.
camperAl, I'd also be interested to know
1) their best out the door price, including all fees and taxes for export to Canada. I would pick the unit up at the dealership, so no shipping to the border involved.
2) what options are included - if I would add, the DC powered ceiling fans, a 2nd coach battery, and the heated tank pads. The range with oven would be nice, but the convection M/W would do.
3) is the 2nd coach battery space roughed into each coach? I would likely DIY that option later.
4) where are the coach batteries located physically on the coach? (for running inverter cables to galley)
5) anything else I didn't think of?
