I have been looking for the the weight rateing for his coach and can't
seem to come up with it. Heck I cant find the specs and dont want to
wait to monday to call about the coach. Can anyone give me these items?
or a website to find it Bluebird didnt seem to have these specs.
Weight dry and loaded
What is Hurricnane Heating?I thought these coaches have and aqua hot
type system.
Is this a good year for This unit?

Sir, the GVWR for the M-380 is 36100lbs. Loaded weight depends on
what you put in it ie: full timing or just a weekend or tail gating
bus..holds 145gal fuel cap, comes with 12R22.5 tires, turn radius 54*
LOA is 37'8", width is 102" has tons of floor plans. Incorporates
the new Koni High freq shocks. Lots of cool stuff...hope this helps
out..They make em every day! Join the family.

Scott:

The number 54 you are referring to is the turning angle. The turning
radius is 29.7' curb-to-curb; 35' wall-to-wall with a 54 degree
turning angle. I can easily make a u turn from from the inside lane
of a 4 lane highway without backing.

The entire list of specifications can be found at:

Well shoot Marv, I can do that too...... as long as it's a big
*divided* highway with a wide median and a turn around!

Sorry, couldn't resist. That turning radius is impressive!

According to the Vintage Birds web site, 2003 was the first year that
the M380 was built. The Blue Bird web site has the spec sheet for the
M380 posted as a pdf. It is for the model year 2004 (I suspect that
more recent M380s are about the same). See
<http://www.blue-bird.com/products/coach/...downloads/
m380_specsheet.pdf>

Most BB documentation doesn't provide "curb" weight, only maximum
loaded weight is provided. This is due to the probability that no one
coach will weigh the same as another due to the variety of options
available. While any coach can be overloaded, BBs tend to have
reasonably generous carrying capacity, particularly the tag axle
models. The spec sheet for the M380 shows 14,600 front and 21,500
rear axle capacity and a GVWR of 36,100 lbs. and a GCWR of 46,100
lbs. The product brochure is at:

Hey, if I can make the u-turn without hitting the perimeter fence,
it's a good day!

Thanks Marv, I knew an owner of the M-380 would chime in..but he
seemed in a hurry. Wish I had that kind of money burning my pocket so
bad that I could not wait till Monday :>) (just kidding of course)

I like this site for checking stuff...
http://www.bluebirdmotorhomedotcom...y'all have a look and see.
