Then again some of us in the recreational group put more miles on our rigs than some full timers. And some of us have to load water because the campground doesn’t have water or they are boondockers. Then there are those of us with lots of toys. I will sometimes have my jet ski with me. You have to plan for the heaviest weight you might carry on any given trip not the average weight right?
