Sorry it took me so long, busy at work catching up. 26 x 21 x 7 deep. It would be a nice storage area, maybe a couple of shelves.

Thanks zb39! Doing some scoping for possible a LifePO4 battery array.

Now if Host would just come out with a recliner layout for the Mammoth. [emoticon]

I have no doubt that in the near future they will have recliners......it is a popular set up.

zb39,

Did you ever get a chance to weigh your set up when ready for camping with all the gear, components etc?

I weighed it empty. Well it had 1 12 volt batt and one full propane bottle and about 3 gal of water.

It was 4275. I weighed it with full fuel and DEF etc so I knew what the truck weighed.

Since then I have added 6 6 volt batts, I took out the new 12 volt. and I added a 4k pure sine wave inverter with smart 3 stage charging and an auto transfer switch built in. I removed the 12 volt converter and the auto transfer switch that came with it. dropped about 11lbs. I added 432lbs with the batts and inverter. So I'm at 4707 and then 65 gal of water adds about 520 lbs.
Total 5227 plus 9300 for truck with 2 people and full fuel.14,527. Then it's some clothes and food and were good. When we go in June I will weigh it again. The last trip to KY was not normal it was just me and a lot of guns and ammo going to the Knob creek shoot. I already have my super hitch on also.

I'd be curious to see the weight distribution across your axles too. I'm looking at a similar setup, wondering how it sits with the COG of the Ram. I'm wondering how it loads up the axles front to back.

All of the weight plus some will be on the rear axle. Mine pulls @ 200lbs off the front. COG is @ 6" behind rear axle.
