GVWR Ratings
I have been watching the discussions about coach weights and capacities so I checked the DataTag and then had the coach weighed on a CAT Scale at a Flying J. Here are the results:
Tag: Front - 12,000#; Rear 22,500#, Total 34,500#
Scale: Front - 9840#, Rear 18,200#, Total 28,120#
I had full water and fuel tanks, loaded with two 48 qt Igloo Coolers full of soft drinks, golf clubs, tools, etc. I can't think of how I could ever get to the rated limits. I guess these Gillig chassis are really stout! 32' wide body Regency with CAT 3208T and Allison 645 4 speed.

I guess so!! Wide body and only 2 feet longer and you have a GVWR of 14,500# more then my 30' standard body Breakaway! Maybe it is all that diamond plate you have on top! ROTFLMAO

I weigh in at 13,000# rear and 7,000# front with full fuel, full water, full propane, 2 SOBs and all my timing equipment, I am at my GVWR maximum. Your recorded weight is 8,000+/- over my loaded weight! big difference! My data tag listing is 20,000#

With the "G" rated 19.5 tires I now have a bit more margin on the tire ratings which I like!

Interesting difference??

Almost 5,000# less rated weight than yours.
