What a disappointment in the tank specs. The old MB Cruisers had huge tanks on a very similar floorplan.25gln fresh, 24gln grey, 30gln yes 30gln black and a rear garage to boot. I wonder why Forest River doesn't start making these again.
From what I am seeing about the Coach House Arriva is they are utilizing design criteria a decade old and not working hard to develop it. To get more tank capacity, B converters are going to more custom designed tanks to fit in every nook and cranny rather than a stock box that will fit in an available space. Then in addition there are simply load restrictions that limit the capacities of a B. Maybe the huge bathroom is adding too much weight.
There have been load capacity disasters in the past I am guessing. Forest River? I don't know. But you can bet Winnebago ERA and Thor Four Winds with the 2500 Sprinter extended van that both quietly discontinued after 2010 would have come back to bite them.
