Now tag axle pressure

[Jay Darst]

Dan,

I weighed my coach with 1/4 tank fuel and EMPTY of liquids in any of
the fresh, gray or black tanks and tipped the scales at just over
39,000#.

The 8V92 and its accy's may add some weight.

I use the CAT scales at truck stops... guess they're accurate?

Just for info this is what mine weighs.
Full propane, full water, full fuel, full food, 3 kids, two adults, everything
else the wife thinks she needs and a trailer with car.
Steer axle-13620---max 14,400
Drive and tag-29720--combined limit 33,000
Trailer w/car-5020--combined limit 7,000
Total weight--48,360
Max gross- 54,400 with trailer and car
I can gain some weight.

Oh, forgot. Tag pressure on mine has always been 65-70psi.
