WITH THE COACH EMPTY EXCEPT FOR FULL FUEL, FULL LP AND DRIVER, THE FRONT AXLE WEIGHT IS 4440 LBS. THIS LEAVES ONLY 160 LBS OF WEIGHT BEFORE EXCEEDING THE GAWR ON THE FRONT AXLE. THEREFORE, A MEDIUM WEIGHT PERSON SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COULD EXCEED THIS WEIGHT BEFORE ANY OTHER SUPPLIES ARE LOADED ON THE COACH.
