I have a 2021 381m.
We don't full time. It's 2 adults and 2 toddlers taking 3 day to 2 week trips. Total weight is never an issue (18,800 - 19,100 depending on water level).
My issue is that our 4 seat Can-am takes up almost every inch of the garage but length and width. So we have nearly no space for other toys or other things i have weoght to bring but not space. I can't even fit bikes without big hassles and getting creative.
398m would have been great, but im not ready to take a huge hit simply to trade out an otherwise great and so far reliable 5th wheel. (I'd be happy to make a trade with someone though!)
Has anyone done something like this:

Looks like I could add anywhere from 1 to 3 ft for around ~10k installed.
Outside of whether it's worth it...my other concern is weight distribution. With my Canam in the back (backed in!), my pin weight was at like 13% or something like that. I had to put hundreds of pounds of sandbags under the bed to get more pin weight and stabilize the drive. I think its known problem on the 381m (not the 381ms). I imagine this would only make the problem worse.
