Not sure about a Camelot being that heavy in the front but it is possible. Since it is a tag axle 42' Camelot one can play with the tag axle air bag pressure regulator and move some of the front weight back and forth. Maybe StuckSB has weighed his Camelot and can tell us more.

Weights with full fuel, water and me
Front 14,200
Drive 12,900
Tag 9,000
I could go either 295 or 315's. I went with 315's due to timing. I was tired of fighting the GY's and wanted them changed before a trip. 315 was in stock and 295 were on order unknown delivery status. Also FMCA discount on 315's was same or better than Monaco International on 295's. Plenty of room around wheel wells.
The 315's make for a VERY nice ride up front quiet and easy to steer. I had all wheel align at Fisher Diesel in Houston same month I bought coach. GY's wandered AND had a hard pull to right. Had to have both hands on wheel all the time, wore me out to go 300 miles.

Mike, raise the back. You'll throw the front out of alignment.
Trust me on this one. 1/2 inch will eat your tires.(or reset your tow)

Thanks Perry, that makes sense. Don't have any wear on the fronts right now after 20K miles. I think I will raise the back.
