I bought a lightly used 31SA earlier this year. It had the residential refrigerator, fireplace, and only 600 miles on it by the previous owner. In general, I love this coach although in retrospect, I should have gone with the 32SA as I would like the king size bed and the higher capacity chassis. I discovered after weighing the coach, it was 140 pounds overweight on the front axle! Still had some capacity remaining on the drive axle however. While I am not overly concerned about 140 pounds, it doesn't seem right to me that with only a moderate complement of cargo, the front axle is overweight. It would be difficult to impossible to shift enough cargo aft to make up the difference. Anyone else discover this issue? Moral of the story? Go for the 24K chassis on the 31SA! I believe the 32SA has the 24K chassis. In my opinion, Tiffin should not be offering the 31SA with options putting the front axle so close to the limit. BTW, the DW and I are not morbidly obese, but we don't weigh the typical 150lbs that is used for factory calculations. I have added a 5 Star tune (worth the money in my opinion), Winegard Traveler sat dish and will be adding a Bogart Engineering house battery monitor to see where I'm at for doing some boondocking.
