1998 U320 GCWR?

October 19, 2013, 02:06:20 pm

As I continue to search for a FT, I constantly keep 3 tabs open that I use for research from Barrybeam.com: Foretravel Vehicle Weight, Foretravel brochures, Specifications and Manuals and Foretravel's History.  While looking at a 1998 U320 I found a discrepancy for the GCWR.  The vehicle weight page has it at 42,000 but the spec sheet has it at 38,000.  Could someone clarify what the GCWR is for this coach?  BTW, thanks Barry for the wonderful resources.  It helps a ton!

Thanks

I think that must be a typo on the "Vehicle Weight" page.

The way I understand it, the 1998 U320 "tow capacity" is 6000#, so the numbers would be:

1998 U320 4000 series (non-tag):  GVWR = 32,000, GCWR = 38,000

1998 U320 4200 series (tag axel):  GVWR = 42,000, GCWR = 48,000

Rory,
The '98 U320 weights out of the 1998 Foretravel Features and Specifications brochure:

40 ft coach:
GVWR 32350
GCWR 38000

42 ft coach:
GVWR 42000
GCWR 48000.
