Got a great deal on this 84 Starcraft awhile back....it cleaned up fine....did new hubs & brakes, torsion axle, 6x12 (plus 4 foot tongue), it's very solid....everything I wanted
except for the weight! I'm trying to go as light as possible (TV is a Sportage with 6cyl) I haven't scale weighed it, but I'm guessing well over 500# (with wheels and axle).....I already removed one internal cross member (thinking of a drop floor of some sort); that piece weighed 18lbs. So, here's some pics with the pieces I would like to remove:
I would leave the 'outrigger' part of the frame, just taking away the outside pieces; I figured I could shave off at least about 140 lbs. by removing these. Tell me if you see a problem with this all you frame and chassis guys.

(also thinking of removing those tank-like fenders (not sure what each of those weigh)...except that would just require more building, so I'm not sure about that)
