How much weight did you add?

I'm trying to estimate the weight I will be adding to my cargo conversion once I"m done. So I'm curious how much weight you guys have ended up with after your build.
Yup I searched and didn't come up with anything along this line.

I didn't do a cargo conversion, but I did weigh all the parts I used in my build. I saw your build thread and since you are interested in some similar parts, this may help.

A 20lb LP tank weighs approximately 39 lbs full.
The dual stage LP Regulator and hoses weighed 4 lbs.
Suburban 6 Gallon LP Water Heater weighs 83 lbs full.
Hydro Flame Everest Star LP Furnace weighed 19 lbs.
Dometic 3 Way Fridge (Sorry I dont have the model # handy) 45 lbs. empty
Coleman 6700 Series Rooftop AC (7100 BTU) weighed 80 lbs.
Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series Converter 6.5 lbs.
10 AWG (30 amp) Power Cord 8 lbs.
Stainless Sink 4lbs.
Winegard Sensar 3 Crank Up Antenna 11 lbs.
Jensen RV External Vent Range Hood 11 lbs.
2 Burner Stovetop 10 lbs.


Hope this helps some.

Frank,
Thanks for the numbers! I've worked and worked at estimating weight and what you gave me there will save a lot of searching online. I'm hoping to come out under 3,000lbs but we'll see.
