The Camper configuration adds less weight than 2 adult passengers IMHO.

The common later passenger model interior pieces are pretty darn heavy
and not present in Campers. Subtract all that heavy stuff out and add in
the Camper gear weight. I have been meaning to compare the weight of the
individual pieces of both models to get some actual numbers. I may get a
chance next week. If so I will post the results. I think the 2 person
middle seat weighs about as much as the Westy sink/stove/fridge unit.
