Trying to decide whether to upgrade to the Morryde IS with 2 x 8K axles and disc brakes - or if we need to upgrade to a toy hauler or something with higher GVWR. I don't know how anyone is adding solar and batteries and staying anywhere near the GVWR.

In case this is helpful... we have a 2021 3790RD with Legacy and Super Solar. The empty weight is 14,820lbs. I think that is about 700lbs heavier than the weight that was listed on the website for a base model.
I can't say how much weight the legacy options might add, but I suspect not a lot. (disc brakes, furrion cameras, electric power reel... maybe 100lbs??) So, best guess, the solar stuff added about 600lbs. However, keep in mind that the empty weight does not include a battery at all, so the actual extra weight would be less in practical terms.
HtH!
