No, we are never even close to 2,165 lbs of stuff. That is just the numbers from our sticker. I can't imagine what a ton of stuff would look like, but 49 gallons of fresh and 33 grey and 33 black would "in theory" be roughly half of that if you traveled with all tanks 100% full (nothing I would even consider doing).

usually, the liquids in your black and grey came originally from the fresh unless you are in the habit of refilling your fresh in the middle of an outing without dumping. I always travel with full fresh water when I am heading to a dry camp. I never travel with black and grey since I dump within a few miles of my campground....hopefully!
