Hello, I'm a long time lurker, and the time when I can make a purchase is approaching. I'll be a single traveler and this will be my first RV. I thought I had decided on a 17B, but I've had second thoughts since I found out about ETI lowering the GVWR on their trailers. The 17B went from 4000lbs to 3500lbs. I've played around with the ETI online builder, and a well-optioned 17B is around 3000lbs dry weight. That's with some of the heavier options like dual batteries, an air conditioner, and spray foam. Add 200lbs for a full water and propane tanks and you've got about 300lbs left for cargo, and that's with maxing the the trailer out. Is that enough for one person? It seems like it would be, but I've never done this before so I'm not sure. I see other people posting about recently purchased 17B's so I thought maybe I was overthinking it.
