I think there is some extra bracing in the slide area. I ran into that when initially looking at a Classic slide out. I noticed a high area in the floor near the fridge in a 30' Classic slide as I walked down the aisle. According to the factory rep from Airstream who was there at the time, there is some additional bracing done, and in this case the trailer I was in may have had a slight defect in the placement, causing a high spot in the floor.

Since my unit was built before Airstream increased the load capacities, I don't have a ton of weight capacity. I think with full holding tanks my cargo capacity is about 660 lbs. or so. Normally the only potential holding tank load I carry is fresh water. My normal cargo load is about 500 lbs. Since I do not carry grey or black water in the tanks when traveling, I still have another 625 lbs. or so to play with on top of the 660 lbs that Airstream states.
