I'm revisiting this question because the more I think about it the more puzzled i am.

First, the scale is fairly accurate having checked it against other scales and other vehicles.

So, my 76 Birch weighs just 400 lb less than gross for a 23-footer.

Where are those pounds coming from?

Alcoas are how much lighter than steel? 200 lb total?

There is NO generator installed- there's 200 lb.

I have rear disc and quad bags, is that any heavier?

All the appliances are lighter than the originals.

The 3-burner w/ oven has been replaced with a 2 burner cooktop

All the cabinetry is lighter except for a solid surface countertop.


THe only heavy add-on would be the trailer hitch.
