GCWR
My GVWR is 11,000 pounds but nowhere on the door is the GCWR. I am under the GVWR but need to know how much weight I can tow. Thanks I added this to find out how to EDIT my INFO. EDIT---------...

it was in your sig...I missed it. sorry.
I did an online search and could not find any specs for your particular make/model. according to this the GVWR is 11,030-lbs and the hitch is rated for 7500-lbs and a GCWR of 15,250-lbs. this tells me that even though your hitch is rated for 7500-lbs your max towing weight is 4000-lbs. but...those specs don't indicate if those are for new chassis' today, for 2008 models or if all years are the same.
we can reach a few conclusions...
- assuming these specs apply to your vehicle you can certainly tow 3000-lbs. but that assumes that your MH is not overweight on either or both axles. the only other way you'd be in trouble is if your hitch is rated for less than 3000-lbs and that's very unlikely for a 10-yr old MH.
- given what you want to tow I woulThis is my current loadingdn't stress on the GCWR...as nice as it would be to know that number. I'd be more interested in the gross-axle weight rating for each axle (GAWR) to determine if either axle is overweight. and I think the only way to learn that is to call Sprinter @ 877-762-8267 and/or Coachmen @ 574-825-8602. if they can answer the GAWR question they can certainly tell you the GCWR and the hitch rating.
good luck.
I should be OK and safe------thanks for the info and opinion.
