E450 with a GVWR OF 14,050lbs. Unloaded vehicle weight says 12,577lbs. Leaves me with 1,473lbs.
Figure in tongue weight of a tow at roughly 450 - 500lbs leaves me about 1000lbs. There are 8 seat belts but let's say we are hauling 4 slim adults at 160 lbs (640lbs total). That leaves me with 360lbs. 38 gallons of water would be about 315 lbs. This leaves me with a hefty 44lbs for gear, clothes, tools and food.
Do I not understand something? If I had 8 adults at 200lbs I would be overweight before they put their shirt on.
It also has "Sleeping Capacity Weight Rating of 616 pounds. Where and why did they come up with that?
I am going to put a new roof sealant on that will probably add 100 pounds to the weight. How could the manufacturer figure this was correct??? They know people buy these to travel in right????
