Does anyone have a weight for the front the end on a '85 Regal 28' on a Chevy P-32 chassis?

I have a 33' Regal SE. The front ends of all these Regals are similar in layout, so even at different lengths, the front end weight should not vary a great deal.

With a normal load, partially filled tanks, and two aboard in the driver & passenger seats, my front end weighed 5,760 lbs.

The only answer is to weigh it yourself in driving load condition. The location of tanks and gensets will make different situations for different vehicles. For example, our gas tank is way in back and our holding tank is forward of the drive axle. Our genset is way back, while some are amidships. And so forth.


FWIW, ours is 4780, no people, 50 gal water, 40 gal gas, 15 gal in holding. Like Roy's, it is a tag, but mine is only 30 ft.

Just posted this on another item, but the front weight on my 28' 85 Regal is 5040#(rear is 8860). 70 gallons of gas, 60+ gallons waste water, 20+gallons fresh water, food, tools, golf clubs etc.
