hi all,
after we filled with fuel today we unhooked the car and weighed the coach.
we weighed with empty waste tank, full water tank and full fuel tank and darlene and i at our seats.
attached is the picture of the scale readout. it is a little confusing to me as it is lower than i expected.
my vin plate shows gross weight of 55,000 pounds with 12k at tag, 18k at steer and 25k at drive.
corresponding tire pressures on the vin plates for 215/88r22.5 lrl are
100psi at tag, 110psi at drive and 140 psi at steer
i have changed the steer to 365/70r22.5 lrl and have been running 115psi.
my scale readings were 9940lbs tag, 17500 steer and 23360 drive
for a total of 50,800
so tire pressures are now a bafflement to me.
the michelin chart show that the tire pressures could be wayyy lower than what i am running. it was a cat certified scale. what other axle weights do you guys with 2 slides see?
