Real world weights for the 2011 3665RE

Story first. I should have known better than to take DW "just looking" at new 5th wheels, SOB's and Montana's.
She fell in love with the 3665RE.
Especially the bathroom separated from the bedroom (she never liked the bathroom/stool room) of the 3400, the 4 door fridge, and the microwave much lower (she's vertically challenged) and I preferred the living room over our 3400RL, with the entertainment center in the back, cool how the TV raises and lowers, and the large windows on the chair slide, making it much brighter inside, and not having to move the recliners every time we moved, the new storage compartment doors with keys that wont open 75%+ other doors, and are slam shut on hydraulic lifts, and we both liked the hickory woodwork.
Knowing I had to keep DW happy, we traded our 3400 for the new 3665RE!

Weights, loaded and ready for a 4-5 month trip, 1/4 tank fresh water.

Pin weight 2800
Axle weight 11700

Total 14500

This figure includes 4 6 volt Trojan batteries and 150 watt solar, dual pane windows, 4 door fridge, and a combo washer/dryer

Truck front axle 4700
Rear axle 6500

Total 11200

GCVW is total truck weight incl pin, and 5th wheel axle weight

11700
11200

Total 22900lbs, all figures calculated to the nearest 50lbs.

This is pushing the factory limits of a pre 2011 option loaded GMC crew cab dually, D/A 4X4, except the rear axle, but very close to the 11400lb GVWR.
