Fleetwood Discovery 40G

[Amandaz88]

My husband and I are trying to decide between a Fleetwood Discovery 40G and an Exoedition 38B. We are weighing the pros and cons of each. Does anyone have an idea of what the dry weight versus fully load weight is on the 40G?

You can find the specs for Fleetwood models (including 2018 models as well as prior year models) in their brochure archives located here (scroll down and select the model/model year):

I have a 2017 40D, won't be much different. Out the factory door was 31,043 lbs., loaded include fuel & water was 33,340, then add 500 lb. for 2 people and food should get you close.

If the budget allows, Discovery is a far better choice. We looked at both too.

When we bought our 15 Discovery I said to myself after having 11 Bounder. There wasn't enough difference between the Bounder and a 1 step lower than Discovery to warrant spending 10 of thousands on the Expedition. The Discovery was a no brainer. Few thousand more was worth it.

Here is the CAT scale weights of a Fleetwood Discovery 40D LXE. We were loaded for a 3 week trip and all tanks 1/3 full with full tank of diesel.
