The Newell guy told me on the new Newell that we were looking at that we had 2,000 lbs. of leeway on the FRONT axle. So, on the new coach, the front was not overweight.
Our new coach will weight about 54,000 lbs. wet. Not overweight on any axle. Liberty Coach is very careful of balancing the coach.

and I think I'm getting the numbers confused on the drive and tag axle. I looked at the Newell coach and spoke with the salesman in Feb. of this year. So, let me say that I know he told me I had 2,000 lbs. on the front axle to work with. It could be that the drive and tag were at limit.
