Length of coach?  My 1999 U320 weight is almost double yours!

Hi Brett,    29K lbs for a 1999 36' U320 no slide and a light load sounds about right. Our 2001 36' U320 single slide normal load is about 31K lbs.  Are you including your trailer?

2x 29K is 58K!

Our 2-slide 40' U320, fully loaded for travel including full fuel, water, some in waste tanks, plus us and 3 dogs was 36,075 when we last weighed.

I have to think Brett did some quick mental calculations and misspoke.

My two slide 42 fully loaded for travel was 39k.  That is full water and empty holding tanks and 7/8 of a tank of fuel.

My coach is parked next to Brett's coach right now. I saw both coaches today. My coach weighs about 29K. Brett's coach is four feet longer, but sure doesn't look like it weighs twice as much.  :))

Perhaps that full body paint is heavier than I thought.  :o

OK guys, a slight exaggeration.  My coach weighs 42K with full water and fuel.  My stacker weighs another 10K.  My point was that posting 0-60 times without length/weight was incomplete.  JD, I'll be back to Nac just after lunch today.  We over nighted in Meridian, MS on our way back from Thanksgiving on Cape Cod.

Love the 0-60 subject, reassures me that the added attention spent on my toy was worthwhile.
Joyful feeling at the traffic liters, many cars get surprised.

Brett, just a side note on your coach. I noticed that you have quite a few screws loose(the coach) along the trim strips etc. Suggest you tighten them as this is a way in for water into wood work. If they will not tighten up take them out and put tooth picks with glue on into holes then replace screws. They should be checked every few months-EVERY ONE- around our coach's that have them.

John - another side note to the side note - just curious- did you meet Brett somewhere and noticed this or is there a pic somewhere on the forum where you saw the issue?  Just want to see what you noticed?

Actually noticed them while we were at Nac a few weeks ago and their coach was sitting there in the rain at FT. Love the paint job and was checking it out when I noticed them as I keep a beady eye on mine all the time and am constantly tightening them up. I do know that left loose water will get into flooring etc.
