a/c 134a capacity not found on sticker

I need to have the a/c system evacuated however the sticker doesn't show the capacity for refill.  Anybody know where to find it.  Car stickers always have it under the hood but in the case of motorhomes I guess the length of the coach would most likely determine the length and refrigerant capacity? of the a/c hose going to the front?

The typical capacity for Foretravels is around 4.5 lb. , if I remember correctly. However, the only way to accurately fill is with gauges to monitor pressures and a thermometer to measure the temperature of the air coming from the dash vents.

I just filled mine at 5. lbs. after replacing the expansion valve watching the gauges while filling.
After 1994 the Foretravel Capacity is 5. pounds.
