I suspect that you got the sticker that belongs to the Chevy chassis. The dual wheel 3500 Chevy has the 12,300 lb weight limit. I saw a 225 on the dealer's lot recently, and was impressed wiht the arrangement. My first motorhome was a 20' class A Vagabond. It was a nightmare to drive, got terrible gas mileage (about 6-7).
I have almost 28,000 miles on my 211S, and it is a joy to drive, with plenty of power. I was passing cars on a 2 lane highway returning to my home from my son's house near Houston as easliy as my minivans of the past.
I really am enthused about the versatility of having light weight, ample power, and full self containment. Though I have had some annoyances with quality control, I am generally very satisfied with my unit - especially considering that I have put about three years of wear on it already. In fact, my last motorhome was a Winnebago Chieftan, which I bought new in 1987, and kept for 15 years; but only put about 45,000 miles on it total. I will have that in two and a half years (I am getting ready to move into San
Antonio, so I will cut down dramatically on my mileage in a couple of months).
