I have a 2003 w-20 chassis. The RIVA sticker says the front axle is 7500# and the rear is 14500#. This must be a optional rear. The standard was 13500#. Does this make my ccc go up 1000lbs. The ccc sticker in the kitchen is being calculated on a 20,700. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Do not exceed your GVW and your GCWR. The 14,500 axle was specified by the OEM and although it's there the rating helps the coach builder more than it does the owner.

On my coach I have 23,500 pounds worth of axles but only 22,000 worth of GVW. There ya go!
