Net Carrying Capacity

[Michael Day]

I have been looking at several Wanderlodges (PT40's) from the
1991-1995 vintage. These seem to all have a Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating of 47,400 lbs. There is little information on what the Unladen
Vehicle Weight of these units is.

Anyone know what the Net Carrying Capacity (GVWR-UVW) of these coaches is.

Has anyone weighed their 91-95 PT40 with full fuel? The large fuel
tank (300 gals) really increases the weight when filled.

Michael,
When I bought my 91WLWB40, I weighed it at a Cat Scale on my way homethat
showed Steering axle - 12300 lbs, Drive axle - 19480 lbs., and tag axle - 9320
lbs (with 65lbs, of air pressure)for a total of 41,100. Now, I hate to admit it
after years of computing weight and balance daily in aircraft, but I did NOT
note the fuel level when we crosssed the scale! I have asked myself the same
question - what were you thinking?? Too excited about the new bird! I had just
sold my '78FC31 with 181,000 miles of 65 mph and was impressed with how fast and
quiet my new pusher was!! Hope these numbers help.....gotta go weigh it again,
so I can set the tire air pressures correctly.

Thanks Robert. I wonder if some of the 91's may have had a GVWR of
45,200 (same as the 1990) while others may have had the 47,400 of the
1993-1996 models. If yours has the 47,400 GVWR, you have a great
NCC!! If the fuel tank was 1/2 full that would give you an NCC of
over 5500 lbs.
