How much stuff do you carry in your T@B ?? - Cargo Weights

I took SUNT@B to the scale today and with everything listed above on board it weighed 2280 pounds.
Subtracting the measured added weight of 607 results in an empty weight of 1673 pounds.
The weight and capacity sticker on the T@B says 1680. 
Now that's unbelievably close!

Depending on model and year/month of manufacture, you get either a 2800, 2900 or a 3500 lbs axle.  Our early 2014 CS (not wetbath) model came with the 3500 axle, and even with 15 inch tires! It depends on what they have available at the factory at the moment of manufacture.

I thought some folks might find this useful in estimating/realizing how much weight they add to their vehicles (TV & T@B) loading up all their stuff.  It is not real specific for many items but makes one think about the kitchen cabinet full of pots and pans could easily be 30 pounds.  Almost 100 pounds total goes into our kitchen not including food and water. The same thing with bedding, mattress topper and towels..
Add to my list some very common accessories like a side tent, gas grill, Coleman stove, E-Z up, dutch oven, bicycles.......
It is really ill-advised to think a TV with a 2000# rating will be adequate especially for a "newbie" with no towing experience asking for advise.
Be smart.
Be safe.
Most of all - Have fun!

I recently had the unique opportunity to see exactly how much stuff we carry in our T@B. 
SUNT@B needed a new floor and it had to be empty to begin the replacement.
We keep the camper ready to go anytime.  So other than our cloths bags and perishable foods, everything is on board.
Everything was removed and placed in plastic bins, boxes and baskets then set aside to be reloaded later.
As I re-equipped the completed trailer, I weighed everything!
I will preface the results with the perspective that we are very lightweight campers having used a tandem bicycle as our RV for many years prior to SUNT@B.  When we attend rallies or gatherings of similar campers, we clearly are at the less stuff end of the spectrum. The interior and kitchen are ready to use even when we are on the move because nothing has to travel in the living spaces.

That being said, this is what I found:

NET ADDED WEIGHT		607

Over 600 pounds!!! 
I'm sure there is easily another 100 pounds of clothing, toiletries and food items to be added before we drive away.
The back of the TV has two plastic totes of supplies, a cooler and a tool bag.  The back seat is Bella's.

With the 1680 pound empty trailer weight there is nearly 2400 pounds total not including any of the weight in the TV.
Something to compare to your own "list" and consider when choosing TVs

Have fun!  Travel safe!
