Marginal at best. And to get that capacity, you probably can't be carrying any passengers or cargo -- going camping by yourself and not taking any gear?

Dry 2720s are ~2750 lbs dry, but that also supposedly doesn't include many accessories that are often standard, like awning, A/C, batteries, maybe the spare tire, etc. In any event, real world weights of 2720s packed for a weekend of camping as reported here on the forum are 3,500 to 4,000 lbs. So not only will you have zero margin of error, it's likely you'll be overweight.

I wouldn't do it.
