Overweight!

[attachment=3765 Wrote:Richard pid='26191' dateline='1462404165'][attachment=3765]Wow, those tank capacities are far greater than the 95 I owned. To the best of my feeble memory. Fuel was 200, Water was about 120, and there was no separate gen tank. Again, from memory, the front axle with coach fully wet and loaded was about 13700.

I also really looked into fitting the front of that coach with the wide 365 tires but found that the rim would hit the steering arm on that axle setup. So that may not be an option.

None of the above helps you, I just provided data from another 95. Water weighs 8.35 lbs/gallon, and diesel weighs about 7.3 lbs/gallon. So, Dean is spot on with the easiest options of running with less in the tanks and eliminating the gen tank if you can.

I would monitor my speed very cautiously in hot weather.

You could raise the front by adjusting the height control valve, but it's not going to shift more than a couple hundred pounds. I agree with you that lowering the tag pressure isn't going to shift enough weight.

What does the placard say?

What I don't understand is how the back end can be "light" with the big tanks and the front so heavy.

Got the tank sizes from Tommy at Newell.
