You can get the dishwasher on the 36RL, but they didn't make a full king with slide in slide. Either a king without slide in slide, or queen with slide in slide.

Anyway - have fun!

That really is too bad. When I carry a full load with water, I would actually be overloaded on GVWR if I didn't have the 8K axles.

We don't have to carry water and we're 500 to 1K over the sticker (we have everything, including the kitchen sink), but we're changed to the 8K Mor/Ryde IS with 17.5 H tires.

Thanks all for your answers, reading up on things to know when leaving our normal life in a house and going full time but I suppose that is another thread.

Great to be a part of such fast and alive forum.

Loaded for fulltimer, have all options except gen & slide-in-slide & only 25# over 16500 gvwr. We even have quartz counters & they are d@#% heavy. Typically don't haul water to keep weight down.
