1995 U295 36 Dry Weight

February 09, 2012, 12:15:17 pm

Curious if anyone has weighed a similar coach?  I understand there may be some differences but just trying to get an idea on the dry weight of my coach until I can weigh mine on a scale.

Benjie,

Does the plate next to the driver's seat have a "UVW" number?  I believe that's unladen vehicle weight (aka dry weight).  Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Michele,

I don't believe so. All I saw was GVWR and then I think GCWR. I'll look again, but curious if someone else has actually weighed or has the UVW handy.

Thanks,

Benjie

We have a 1998 295,36'.  the weights are as follows:  UVW  26,170.  NCC 4,830.  GVW 31,000.  GCVW 36,000.  My short time destination weight plus full water is 27,320,  Weight when we travel to Texas for the winter with all our belongings (but with only enough water to get to the next  campground),  26,820.  This is distributed as follows:  Full water- 10,400 front, 17,320 rear.  Full clothes but little water-  10,300 front, 16,820 rear.    Hope this helps.  I weigh frequently, but have been unable to weigh the corners.

Awesome! That definitely helps. My GVWR is 29,500 so looks like they beefed something up a little.
