I think you'll find that most (not all) full timers are a bit overloaded. I know that when we had Mor/Ryde axles installed, they weighed the rig first and my axle weight was 11,900 lbs. So they put 7,000 lb axles on the rig. This didn't increase the carrying capacity very much because we are still limited by the load range E tires which are rated to carry a max of 3042 lbs each. But I know that we are just a bit overloaded, probably by about 1000 lbs. The last time we were on a CAT scales, we were at 22,000 lbs combined. I have two tool boxes on the truck and the truck is about at its limit. I'm thinking about getting a bigger truck pretty soon.
We found that it's harder to get rid of stuff when we're both active with our computers, I write a newsletter and my wife is a graphic artist. She maintains four websites and has just been contacted to create another one. But we've tried to get rid of some stuff by leaving it in our shed on our leased lot in New Mexico.
