I haven't done the calculations to determine the added weight with a full fresh water tank, and full hot water heater. I would think coming down some of those Colo passes you'd know it was there..

So true! Yet we have done 10K miles/yr. roaming between the Fl Keys and Olympic NP. So much to see and enjoy! Yep, I'm keenly aware of that 5675 lbs hitched behind me me when coming down the passes - particularly with a bit of snow or ice on the road.

Safe Travels,
Joe
