hi tom,
my coach is a 2002 and has only two slides. here is a link to a discussion on axle weights and tire pressures on it.
http://newellgurus.com/Thread-axle-weigh...ht=weights
since my coach is so different than the one you are looking at i include the info for illustrative purposes on weight margins.
in include here also pictures of my vin plate, a CAT scale printout from weighing my coach (full of fuel, full of water, empty waste tank and with darlene and i in it with our dog and all our stuff in the bays)
also a picture of the specs for the 365 tires i have on the front which are not accounted for in the vin plate max axle weights.
the front axle with 315's on says 18000lbs. with the 365's running from 110psi the capacity goes up to 18,960 lbs and running 125psi goes up to 21,000 lbs. so from 960 to 3,000 lbs more (55, 960 lbs to 58,000 lbs)
so, at least on my coach, i have between 4,200lbs and 7,200 pounds margin if i load it right. i cant imagine having more than a thousand pounds or so more weight unless i was loading the bays a lot fuller and carrying more people.
so, again, i cant speak for a 2004 valid 4 slide, but just showing the margins on my own coach.
