In my experience the wheels of a full Westy each carry about 1000-1100
pounds not including passengers. Naturally if you load more stuff in and
on it those numbers increase. The kitchen does not add as much as you
might think but it adds it to the left side wheels. Stuff inside the
kitchen cabinets can add up quick too. The left front wheel was the
heaviest of all on one of those that I weighed.
