Dave (Hog)...FWIW, I was 900 difference at Spartan, and Big Mike there said they don't worry about it until the weight difference exceeds 1500#s.

My problem was similar but right front corner was 1200# heavy. Adjusted ride height and now I'm 200# heavy on the left front corner. Scott at Spartan gave me the numbers for the adjustment. As far as the tag is concerned, Spartan told me that my percent of weight on the tag was what they wanted and they did not recommend adjusting it to decrease nose weight. I 'spos I'll have this conversation again when I'm at the factory in June.

I was freak in out at 180 lbs. over on the passenger’s side because of my change to AGM batteries (600 amp hrs.) 1,200 hundred pounds is unreal. I will also have them check my ride height August 2015 when we go up to both factories.

Entegra/Spartan is not alone regarding weight distribution. I had a similar issue on our Powerglide chassis with the front right being 1100# heavier than the left. Turns out that the left rear ride height was set 1/2" too high. Once corrected, the fronts are within 150#s of each other. I replaced the rear proportioning valves with manual regulator valves. I can now regulate how much weight the tag carries which affects what the steer carries. I was able to reduce the steer axle weight by 600# and increased the drive up to 19,500# (22,000# cap.) The tag is at 5200#. FWIW, I have to set the right tag 5 psi higher than the left for them to be even.

Just curious of the weight of an anthem DEQ. I have yet to weigh mine. Can one of the DEQ owners post up your corner weights? I am just doing some rough calculations on my GCVW. Thanks!

I have a 2013 Aspire 42DEQ....not quite the same as an Anthem, but perhaps enough to give you some idea. These were my weights last Sunday at the start of our 6 month trip....still have some room for wine and good side-to-side balance.

Thank you! Looks like you are around 40k and probably pretty well loaded. I cant imagine the anthem being a whole lot different.

So is it fair to say that with all the fluids and our crap would bump the weight by 5 to 6k lbs?

My weight was wet weight including fuel. As Entegra called it, road ready. No passengers or cargo. I do not know if it included water in the fresh water tank.

I think that multiplier doubles the pressure but reduces the filling speed in half. That gives me pause, as these tires fill slowly enough already.
