2013 Discovery GAWR

So when I weighed her, empty water, grey, black tanks, full fuel her weight was 19,973lbs. Front axle was 11,306lbs. This seemed strange as the brochure says her max GAWR is 20,000 and front is 12,400 for a total of 32,400

FW and the dealer scratched their heads and Freightliner said we build to FW specifications. I said, OK then what did you change on the 2014 and 2015 models to increase the GVW and GAWR? Because the 2014/15 brochure shows 21,000+12,400=33,400GVW

No answer....

Not to be out maneuvered, today the light went on, I checked the factory tag on the bulkhead...guess what; the brochure is WRONG!

Newmar printed up and distributed their full color multi page brochure for the DSDP a couple years ago that said it had a 450HP ISB when it actually had a 450HP ISL. Quite a difference!
