Guidence on Coach Specifications

OK guys, I'm getting closer and I'm circling the wagons but those darn indians keep firing and riding around like crazy people!

I found a floorpan that my wife and I really like. It's 37' with the living area in the front of the coach that we really like. I noticed that it has a 22,000 chassis with a 242 wheelbase.

Another coach that we like is also 37' but it has a 24,000 chassis with a 252 wheelbase.

My question is, is the 24,000 chassis and 10" longer wheelbase important enough to go with our #2 motorhome choice?

One other question. What kind of gas mileage can be expected on the open road going 60 to 65 MPH?

Thanks guys

    Does anyone know where I can go to find out the Cargo Carrying Capacity of each coach? As I said earlier I've not been able to find it in the brochure or website.

    Usually it is posted inside the MH. Sometimes under the driver's side window sometimes inside a cabinet. I found the web sites lacking also.

    The CCC/OCCC can vary from unit to unit, even within the same model number, depending on what factory options were ordered by the first buyer. As said, the weight list is usually attached inside a cabinet door. The dealer should be able to provide you with that information.

    With what you have said I would go with the one your wife likes the best. There isn't enough difference to get excited about. You will be parked more than driving.

    I just looked at the brochures and none of them list CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity). They all show Bottom Storage but that's it!


    They no longer use "CCC" in the specifications. Instead, they now use "OCCC" which stands for Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity. That number will be found on the required Federal Certification Tag inside every coach. Have the dealer take a picture of the tag and email it to you. That will give you everything you want to know about axle capacities, towing capacities etc.

    Safe travels.


    With todays cameras I took a pic of mine, sent it to my computer, reedited it, printed it out same size as one on RV and replaced my Federal Cert to match my newly engineered towing capacity :W

    Post the make model and year you are look at. Someone on the forum might have the coach in their driveway and can fill you in with the details. Also a call to the manufacture could answer the question.
