Wet Weight
The weight of a truck camper with full fresh water tanks, full propane tanks, and a charged battery bank — but typically without personal gear. Wet weight is the more honest number for payload planning, but you still need to add passengers and gear on top. A good rule of thumb: budget 200-400 lbs beyond wet weight for clothing, food, cooking gear, tools, and all the stuff you'll inevitably pack.
