Pending the trip, it weighs between 11,200 and 11,480 pounds. That one trip we had gotten extremely close to the chassis limit of 11,500. I run the tires all around at 70 psi. The quality of ride is nice, though the rear end sags a bit as shown.Fully loaded for travel what would be the approximate weight of 24 ft Class C.I roll at 12,500-12,700 with approx. 50 gals of on board water.

There are two contributers to the sag.
1) Our 40 gallon fresh water tank is in the worst place possible, against the back wall. If I didn't carry water, that would help the condition a lot.
2) With all the weight in the back like that, the front axle is light. One spring rating lower (now 11500, thinking 10050) would bring the front down a bit and then our rig could go back to the stock center bushings. It's sits up so high that the alignment required offset bushings.
