2008 Tioga SL-30 payload

I follow these threads closely, and I'm scared to death of all the postings about larger Class C's having inadequate payload. I'm looking at one of the above models, and despite extensive searches I've been unable to find the factory weight or OCCC of this unit. Owner can't find the sticker, but tells me he weighed it once fully loaded and was under the GVWR of 14,500. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Thanks for the response, and I'm embarrassed I couldn't find the brochure - I was searching for specs. It looks like I understand less than I thought I did. The seller emailed me a picture of the GVWR sticker on the door panel which clearly shows GVWR of 14,500, unlike the 14,050 in the brochure. Looking at page 27 I see numbers for GVWR, Front GAWR, Rear GAWR, and GCWR. In my simplistic understanding, the weight of the empty vehicle subtracted from GVWR gives you payload. After reading page 27 I still have no idea what the SL-30's payload is. In the legend it says "*UVW and CCC are found on the cargo carrying capacity label in each RV." Could someone tell me where it's located so when I inspect the unit I can do the math?
  • Here is the Brochure for that Tioga,scroll all the way down to page 27. It will give you what you need.

    The amount you can load up is limited by GVWR - GVW. GVW can ONLY be determined by weighing - the CCC is rarely accurate as these vehicles
