Some Weight/Numbers Help Please
I'm considering buying a 2014 Newmar Ventana LE and wanted to get the opinion of those smarter than me about what I will be able to load and tow. Here are the specs: Front GAWR-12,000 Rear GAWR-2...

Elias....You have your numbers all wrong. Your front and rear gross axle ratings equal your gross vehicle rating. You have 12000 and 20000 equaling 31000, when it should be 32000. You then need to subtract your unloaded weight which is 26100. This gives you 5900 pounds of cargo capacity (fuel, water, people, food etc).
I want to see someone load a vehicle that precisely!
Many coaches are spec'd that way, just look at the manufacturer web sites. Has nothing to do with how they're actually loaded -- these are capacities we're talking about.
