I weighed my coach about a month after I bought it. I had taken a few short trips but we were only keeping what was necessary in the coach which was:
1) Full tank of fuel
2) Empty black/gray tanks
3) 1/4 tank of fressh water
4) Normal pots & pans
5) Empty refer
6) Minimum pantry load
7) Minimum bathroom & bedroom load
8) Driver onboard

The weights are as follows:
Total - 19,400 - max 22,00
Front Axle - 7440 - max - 8,500
Rear Axle - 9180 - max 14,500

Now that we are fulltime I thought I would weigh it again. But, this time we have all of what we need on board. This means food, clothes, extra pots/pans, keep sakes you name it. Updated weights are:
Total - 21,680
Front Axle - 7600
Rear Axle - 14,160

So now I need to weigh the corners to get the new tire pressures. I did that a year or so ago. But, I will do it again.

DALE: Something about your original weight numbers does not "add up". Comparing your "newborn" weight to your current weight looks a lot like my life.....I've gotten heavier in the rear, too!

Yep.... It is amazing how much clothes, shoes, bed linens, stuff under the bed, keep sakes, lamps, spare chairs you name it weighs. Now add the stuff you store in the bath area that would normally house the washer dryer. All of this stuff is behind the rear axle.

But, the best part is I am not over weight front, back or all.
