Reminds me of a story I stumbled on while researching different alcoholic beverages for a high school public speaking assignment...
Back in the days of wooden sailing ships there was a company that exported french wine to the Scandinavian countries. They got this brilliant idea to distill the wine, to remove most of the water, and then put the water back in at the other end.
Consumers liked it better before the water was added.
And thus we now have brandy.
But back to the main point.
My TM 2720 weighs 3380 on the axle. Every trip I use everything on-board, not including a few cans of food in case we get stranded for a few days and not counting the few tools that are rarely used.
I do have 408 pounds of water that some of you do not need. For where I go it is necessary. Plus the other 38 gallons in jugs, which is another 323 pounds in the truck.
I know what I have in the TM because every fall at the end of the season I take it all out and wash the entire interior, including removing the drawers.
