clothes/food/dishes/bicycles, but also fresh and waste water in the
tanks, factory installed optional equipment, full propane tanks, etc...

When I looked at a Suncruiser to replace mine, they had hung so many slides on it that you could only add 380 lbs of gear. I'd like to get one with a single slide again. Maybe special order?
