What is your CCC??? The coach I spec'ed was 4000 lbs. Do you have any idea of your UVW (empty) weight?
Did they install an new modified data plate showing the upgraded front axle? If it was indeed upgraded, they are required to install a additional data plate showing the upgrade.
They data plate is being mailed to me. The yellow sticker on the door shows en empty weight of 23270 lbs. I'm almost certain that is complete BS. It also shows a carry capacity of 3835 minus the weight of a full tank of water (716 lbs) for a net CCC of 3119. I think this figure is pure BS as well.
I strongly believe the empty weight is closer to 26270. I would LOVE to have the 4000 lbs of CCC as spec'ed by you. I'd be happy with HALF that figure.
I know it's easy to under estimate what you've loaded on board; but there's NO WAY I have over 3119 lbs of gear in this coach, even taking out the DW's and my own body weights.
