I am going to boon dock at the Drag Races this weekend at the Texas Motorplex so I decided to get my 33' SuperNova weighed with it full of 140 gallons of fuel, 91 gallons of fresh water, clothes, food, 3 grills, five chairs, table, carpet for outdoors, extra oil and antifreeze, tools, and all the normal camping gear. The unloaded weight for my vehicle is 19,700#. Gross maximum weight is 25,900. Combined weight is 33,000#. Max front and rear axle are rated at 10,000 and 17,500 respectively.
Actual Cat Scale weights were front axle, 9180#, rear axle, 12420#, with a total of 21,600. I do not think I will normally carry this much gear and water unless I am boon docking but even with it fully loaded, it is well within the gross weight requirements for the coach and leaves me up to 11,400 for towing (which I will never use since I only tow a 3500# Jeep Wrangler).
Overall, I am very pleased with these weights and the excess capacity that I have with this coach.
