I WAS ON A WEEKEND TRIP. I STOPPED AT A WASHINGTON STATE WEIGHT STATION AND WEIGHED MY VIEW. MY REAR IS 7220 AND FRONT IS 3780 OR 11,000. THE GVR IS 11200. THIS WAS WITH HALF TANK OF FUEL IN BOTH THE DIESEL AND PROPANE. MY WATER TANKS WERE EMPTY INCLUDING THE HOT WATER. I WAS ALONE AND HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF FOOD IN THE REFER. AS FAR AS LOAD, I HAVE HWH LEVELERS AND A TRAVELER DISH. BOTH INSTALLED BY ROY ROBINSON RV MY SELLING DEALER. MY GEAR IS IN MY OPINION LIGHT WEIGHT. I HAVE A 25 FOOT WATER HOSE, A 15 FOOD BLACK WATER HOSE. A SMALL TOOL KIT, TWO CAMPING CHAIRS THAT ARE VERY LIGHT. MY VIEW DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF STUFF LOADED. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT PACKING THIS WAY IS OK FOR A SHORT WEEKEND, BUT NOT A MAJOR TRIP. THE VIEW HAS A LOT OF STORAGE AND MINE ARE NOT FULL. IF I WERE TO GO ON A TRIP AND BRING MY WIFE THE VIEW WOULD BE OVER THE WEIGHT AS AT THIS POINT I HAVE 20 LBS TO PLAY WITH. I CAN'T ADD MORE FUEL OR MUCH OF ANYTHING ELSE. THIS IS A HUG SAFETY ISSUE. YES I DID ADD HWH LEVELERS, BUT WGO WHILE NOT INSTALLING THEM DOES NOT TELL ME NOT TO. THE SAME GOES FOR MY TRAVELER DISH. ACCORDING TO BOTH COMPANIES THIS IS ABOUT 200 LBS OF ADDITIONAL WEIGHT. I BELIEVE THE VIEW IS OVER WEIGHT AS DESIGNED. IT HAD 4 SEATING POSITION AND 4 GOOD SIDE OUTSIDE STORAGE COMPARTMENTS. AS BUILT THIS VIEW IS NOT CAPABLE OF MEETING ITS EXPECTED MISSION. IT IS TOO HEAVY. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD DRIVE THIS COACH AS IS. I COULD TAKE OUT EVERYTHING INSIDE AND MAYBE GET 200 LBS OF CAPACITY BUT I DOUBT ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO USE A MOTOR HOME WITH NO FOOD OR POTS AND PANS ( MINE ARE ALUM ) I AM POSITIVE THAT THE VIEW G LIKE MINE WITH THE OVERHEAD BUNK IS OVERWEIGHT, HAS TOO MANY STORAGE BINS, TOO MANY SEATS (4). YES IT IS A SMALL RV BUT I IS GOOD FOR MY WIFE AND I BUT I NEED A RV THAT IS SAFE AND THIS RV IS NOT SAFE AS DESIGNED.
