The 100 pounds of extra cargo is having a wife and two small children. Just giving the buffer for their future as well. Obviously the plan is to keep this combo for several years.
I know after reading and talking with friends that I will probably be in the cargo range you are in, which is the 7-800 pounds total. At this time, my wife is not completely sold on boondocking, so the water tank would not be fully loaded either.
And you are 1000% correct on me being the one driving it. I think getting a good WDH will take care a lot of any concerns. I am a LEO, so I have my fair share of driving all speeds and different types of vehicles, including a transport bus!

My wife wouldn’t like the idea of boondocking either
And it does require a lot of payload to do it. Water ,generators and battery banks add hundreds upon hundreds of weight
Just something we will never do
We stay in National parks which offer huge sites with even some offering full hook ups at only 37 cdn a night

Yeah and don't think I'll get my wife to ever do it as well. But like you said, it takes a lot more weight to do it.
That's our goal is to stay in those types of places, not necessary will full hook ups, but that would be a bonus! We're in Northern California, so we have a ton of options around us. Unfortunately, RV'ing is super popular right now due to COVID, so I'm hoping it cools down once we open back up!
Our goal is to see the 2400 tomorrow, along with the XLS23BHE and the XLS21BHELast edited by jsxtreme01; 04-02-2021 at 03:56 PM.

Thank you for all the information NB! It's been a big help and you are making me feel more comfortable about the 2400.
I also appreciate the looking at the numbers and not screaming, you need a 2500! If it were that easy, it would have been done already!Last edited by jsxtreme01; 04-02-2021 at 04:28 PM.

New here in the forum. Just bought a 2400 a week ago. Towing it with a half ton was fairly easy. I loaded today for my first trip, is me (dude), my wife, my granddaughter and my sweet mother. All the stuff I loaded do not reach 300#.

Definitely need a good quality WDH. Unfortunately there's like a million choices out there!!! I've only used one type/brand since I'm relatively new to rv'ing but I've been happy with the reese stedi-flex. Recently saw that weight safe has a new product that has me intrigued.

We have a 2400BH that we tow with our 2017 tundra. Loaded up and ready to camp, we’re right at or even just a hair over the available payload but under on the axle ratings. It doesn’t look or drive like it’s anywhere near that heavy though. I’ve spent some time at the CAT scale dialing in the WD hitch and it is very easy to drive. No sway when 18-wheelers are passing or issues in the wind.
