[RVTRKN]

Before I purchased my Arctic Fox, I inspected the frame, at least of what I could see, and it looks much more capable than what it is used for with a high GVWR, compared to the actual dry weight. They do differ greatly within the RV industry and is important that you check these stats.

You can add that to your checklist. Look at the GVWR vrs the dry weight because of your fresh water needs, and all of your gear before you start out on your vacation. But as you travel, and when you can not dump your grey and black tanks, you will increase your weight significantly. Water weighs 8.34 lbs per gallon, so if you times that by the total volume it can hold with all the tanks full you will know your limit, but don't forget to include your propane weight.

Also, when you do buy it, load it down to a full load, with all of the liquids full and gear and truck with cargo on a certified CAT scale for truck GVW (front and rear axles) and tongue weight and trailer weight. That way you will know you are within the safe limits of your rig. You can always adjust your water volume using the water weight calculations to prevent overloading when necessary, but you will never know if you dont weigh it first fully loaded.


For a recommendation, I found my Arctic fox to pass that test with plenty of room for extra gear if I needed it, and suggest you might want to look into a nash product as well. (same manufacturer)
