2013 Tiffin Phaeton 40' Empty Weight ???

Can anyone tell me the Empty Weight on a 40QKH or similar Tiffin 40'. Just asking the empty weight (which I cannot find) so I can find the CCC...the old CCC that was the amount of stuff you could put in with the rig with it ready to travel...full fuel and water plus 150lbs X 6 (sleeping capacity) and a couple other things.
Thanks

    Thanks, I tried that and various other places but cannot come up with the empty weight. In 2016 they upgraded the rear axle from 21,000 to 24,000 (2012 Highway Bill allows 24K axle weights for MHs) as with all electric and AquaHot the CCC was getting very low.
    I recently found a post that the empty weight is around 31,000 and doing the math that comes up with a CCC of 2,000 lbs but the coach my friend is looking at has the Res Refrigerator and not sure about A Hot so it could be even less.
    I'll change my posting to Empty Weight???
  • I don't know if you already know this but the Tiffin Motorhomes site has a lot of information. If you click on "Owners" then the "Brochure Archive", you can see the brochure for the unit you are interested in. I noticed that the brochure for 2013 40QKH didn't have the CCC listed but did have the other weights available and also the different tank capacities so you could calculate the weight of water, etc to get to the CCC.

    You might also want to ask this question on the Tiffin RV Network forum accessed by clicking n the forum link on the left side of that page. This site is not ran by Tiffin Motorhomes by another group of owners and is probably the best RV forum I have encountered.
