Empty weight and Gvw
#5

Your GVWR and GAWR's should be the same as #463, although it appears that 465 is a two slide vs a single slide so it would be a little heavier empty. The GVWR on 467, another 2 slide coach is exactly the same as that posted for 463. The actual weight of each coach will be different. Different layouts, different features, different bay layouts so to determine the actual weight of your coach, follow Arch's guidance and get it weighted on a Cat scale or even better, if you can find someone nearby, get it weighed by wheel position. I have had that done at the Newell plant and in Kerrville, TX at Buckhorn Lake RV Resort buy a gentleman who came to the park and weighed it.

I had to document the actual weight to register my coach in Texas as I purchased it in California. I contacted Newell and they faxed me the "Certificate of Origin For A Vehicle" listing the Date of Completion, the VIN, the year model, the GVWR and the 'Shipping Weight". Based on the Certificate of Origin, the weight listed appears to be the dry weight (no fuel, water, wastewater, propane, passengers, etc.) as it rolled off the production line. A full tank of fuel, propane and water for my coach adds 3,775 pounds (yours will be different as mine includes 320 gal diesel, 55 gal of propane, and 185 gals of water including the 20 gal water heater capacity) which when added to the Certificate of Origin weight is very close to the weight I get when I actually weighed my coach on a CAT scale with full propane, fuel and water and empty waste holding tank but no personal belongings and subtracting my personal weight.
