I guess a lot of people take construction materials with them if most max out the GVWR. I’ve had 3 different 5th wheels ranging from 30-39’ and a family of 5. I’ve never maxed out the payload. I’m currently 1200 lbs under. Granted, mine has a large capacity, but it also has A LOT of storage. I have lightened it up a bit, removed about 300 lbs of unnecessary items that were collecting dust. My parents have a 35’ Jayco, doesn’t have as much capacity as mine, but they’re still 500 under it. BTW, we both have between 1500-1800 lbs of cargo. Although a person can plan for the worst case scenario if they’re out shopping for a new truck, but once they have it……. What’s wrong with giving some real world numbers? You all say you plan on worst case scenario and it’s not appropriate to tell someone anything else. I disagree, there’s isn’t anything wrong with giving real world numbers. Nothing I said in my post was inaccurate.
