it might help to tell what we carry in the TM...
wall A/C.
overhead optional cabinet.
tire carrier.
fiamma awning.
(i believe that's all the optional stuff added to weight of stand 2720SL).
also, we took out the easy chair-replaced with eddie bauer aluminum chair.
a 6 drawer plastic chest filled with packaged food.
bedding, clothes, tall trash can(plastic), fan, or buddy heater, most cabinets are filled, but not with heavy stuff.
fresh water tank is not filled for travel, but propane tanks are filled.
tv/vcr 9".
an 8x11 outdoor carpet.
some decorations.
towels, thermarest mattresses(2).

we carried the really heavy stuff--fly fishing bags, tools, ice chest, cots, extra tent for alpine fishing, etc. in the toyota, directly behind the front seats. we removed not only the 3rd row seats, but the back seats, as well, to give more cargo room and save weight. ea. seat weighs about 100#. we have michelin oversized tires on the vehicle.
hope this is of some help.
