Where can the curb weight (full fluids) be found for coaches? All I see listed is the GVWR but they never mention the starting weight of the vehicle before the owner gets in and brings gear.

Here is a recent post on much the same question. CCC includes the weight of the number of sleeping positions... X 155 lbs.
This post is my opinion (free advice). It is not intended to influence anyone's judgment nor do I advocate anyone do what I propose.

Sounds like you want the "UVW" unloaded vehicle weight. Its usually not included in the published specs. But can usually be found on a Mfg weight sheet somewhere on the actual unit, inside a cabinet door, on the wall panel next to the drivers seat or an external plate. UVW is supposed to include the operating fluids like fuel, coolant & oil; but not any RV tank fluids like water, waste, propane. Those are part of your cargo carrying capacity.
Note that the UVW is not an actual weight, but a calculated weight based on a typical unit; and usually excludes any optional equipment. So you always need to confirm it with an actual scale weighing to confirm you don't exceed GVWR or either axle rating.

Usually inside one of the kitchen cabinets there is a yellow sheet giving the as shipped weight. It is still false information as it does not take into account propane, or fuel. Best is to let a set of scales be your next best friend.
