Maybe our motorhomes are getting a little heavy... - davidbrady - 05-09-2018 17:53 Published on May 3, 2018, KRTV, Montana's News Leader: RE: Maybe our motorhomes are getting a little heavy... - ernie ekberg - 05-09-2018 19:39 I just came back from a trip there in montana. The state has had way too much moisture and parking lots are mushy RE: Maybe our motorhomes are getting a little heavy... - Arcticdude - 05-09-2018 22:21 Those new P50's are grossing at 63,000 if I recall correctly. Sad that a new one has to go through that. And I really hope that wasn't the MacKillop's changing brands! That is to say that I would understand if they did, but would really hate for this to be their maiden voyage in the new rig!

RE: Maybe our motorhomes are getting a little heavy... - dentmac - 05-10-2018 12:43 NO ! 63,000 GVWR ! where is that legal ? 44,600 on the rear Note that it is now legal to have 24,000 on one axle If I could....PREVOST ! Burned once.... not again! RE: Maybe our motorhomes are getting a little heavy... - davidbrady - 05-10-2018 18:32 (05-10-2018 12:43)dentmac Wrote: If I could....PREVOST ! Attaboy Ross! Here's the GAWR specs for the P50: Gross vehicle-weight rating 63,300 lbs. Gross axle-weight rating, front 20,000 lbs. Gross axle-weight rating, drive 28,600 lbs. Gross axle-weight rating, tag 16,000 lbs. RE: Maybe our motorhomes are getting a little heavy... - mbulriss - 05-10-2018 22:40 Don’t those axle weight ratings add up to 64,400? In any event, those owners aren’t going to be on the Ohio Turnpike with that drive axle fully loaded. LOL Coincidentally, I looked at a Newell built stacker on Wednesday. It was also rediculously heavy. RE: Maybe our motorhomes are getting a little heavy... - dentmac - 05-11-2018 00:05 The discrepancy can be due to the Drive:Tag ratio. Usually 60:40 (or 65:35 if you are trying to lighten the front end ) ( a BB trick ![]() May not be true , but sounds good Eh! |
