2009 Ford E350 with 6.0 PSD and Sportsmobile 4x4 conversion. With porta-potti in back (holds 5 gallons), full water tank (10 gallon), plus an extra 6 gallon jug, a generator in the Aluminess cargo box, and misc. camping equipment (not much), and a healthy supply of tools in the storage bin. My weight included, no passengers, 30 gallons fuel in 45 gallon capacity tanks, and I didn’t even stock up on food and beer yet for a week-long trip.
Front 4660
Rear 6040
Gross 10,700
This rig is HEAVY. Heavier than I thought. I haven’t even put winches in my bumpers yet. I’m going to start saving for a full-float rear axle when I kill this semi-float.... I’m overloaded with only a minimum amount of equipment. Suggestions?

Nice rig! But wow, heavy. It adds up fast, no?! I guess it all depends on what you do with it and where it goes. My rig, a one ton Chevy Express, is 7400-ish lbs with all the Aluminess outside decorations. But inside we are minimalist. No insulation, no built in stove, no cabinets, no toilet. We have an awesome bed with storage under it. We use duffle bags, and hang them inside.
We don’t take a ton of water either, maybe five gallons. We filter and or purify water, and use local water source for cleaning, or use baby wipes. Its not the best solution, but it sure saves a ton of weight (literally, lol). The best part of this set up is where we can go. It crawles rocks, goes through sand, and makes it way through mud and snow awesome.
Aside from stripping out all the insides and going bear bones, maybe take everything out you have never used, and only keep what ya really use/ need. I know Dynatrac makes some awesome differentials, not cheap, but ya only pay once on them bad boys.

My last SMB ( EB 4x4) was heavy, 10,500 when loaded for a trip with 2 people. I set out with weight savings in mind on my latest build. The Fiberine top weighs only about as much as the metal roof they cut out so I imagine that's a few hundred pounds less than a pop top. I used baltic birch for all the cabinetry and bed platform. There's no folding bench/ bed only a queen size platform so that's probably a bit of weight savings as well. On the Fiberine top I have the two large bulkhead storage areas and then a small cabinet on either side up front and that's it. Plenty of storage with very little weight. I'll post pics.
Over all I have the same furnace, water heater, propane tank, fridge and a larger 24 gallon water tank and my van comes in 1000 lbs lighter than my SMB did.

Whew, I feel my E350 is light at 8600 lbs. In fact that was a goal of mine when mine was built in 2010. No plumbing in my van, only electric with a microwave, Engle fridge, house batteries and the associated systems. Tiny Thetford in the removable cabinet for overnight usage only
7 gallon water jug in the step with a pump on top- no winterizing!
Folding beds can be built light.
This is my issue with any SMB type build - they are heavy from the get go. But that is the nature of 4x4 van potentially outfitted to do everything.
They are beautiful machines when complete.

From an earlier post way back:
My lard ass was out of vehicle.
Total = 11,080
F axle = 4,320
R axle = 6,760
LF = 2,340
RF = 1,980
LR = 3,340
RR = 3,360
I'm probably heavier these days (not just me) and closer to 12K.

I picked up my vehicle at Sportsmobile North in early December 2018. It is a Sprinter 4x4 2500 high top with the 144" wheelbase. Sportsmobile weighed my vehicle for me after they did the RV conversion. The unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) was 7,335 lbs after the conversion.
They calculated the cargo carrying capacity (CCC) by subtracting out the weight for freshwater, and occupants. According to them, I have a CCC of 757 lbs.
Next time we have the van fully laden with water, clothing, food and other supplies that we typically carry, I want to have it weighed again to see how close were are to the GVWR.
