How much weight is added to you camper
How much weight is added to the dry weight of your camper? I was wondering how I stack up with other people. Sometimes we like to pack up stuff that we really don't need😛.

I figured about 500 lbs per person, which includes all the necessary items. In our case it is for the 2 of us and figured on extended stay. We actually went through our camper and removed a lot of things we found we didn't use.

I weighed our camper empty from the dealer and then again after we loaded our "stuff" info it and if I remember correct it was in the 1300 pound range. We tend to carry a lot of "stuff" that isn't really needed.

I've weighed a few times and have found that our weights significantly change based on the length of the trip. We also carry varying amounts of water in the fresh/gray/black tanks, so that can change things by a few hundred pounds.
Completely empty, my camper starts at 400 pounds higher than the advertised dry weight simply based on options.
From there, we add anywhere from 1,400 - 2,500 pounds (again, water and stuff).

We are right about 1k lbs over the yellow sticker weight when loaded. This does not include water as we normally pull empty.

I have never weight my unit, but after adding 2 x 30 pounds propane & battery that is not included in the dry weight.
I would assume we put in easily 1000 pounds maybe more ( clothes, food, tools, camping gear, bedding and towels ).
It all adds up pretty fast.

How much weight is added to you camper
I put a 1500 pound sidexside in mine and with clothes and food all total probably close to 2000 pounds maybe a little more. I am maxed out on ccc on my toy hauler. Don't like being at max load with my hauler but nothing I can do at this point. I just keep a really close eye on everything and take my time.

We weighed our fiver at 12,380 lbs loaded (our pin weight was 2620 lbs). Trailer is in storage right now but IIRC my yellow sticker weight correctly, that gives me right around 1500 lbs of stuff in the trailer.
