Re: Axle Weight Ratings
thank you that is very helpful
it is strange to have a single axle rating that I could park my old 35' class a on (17,000)
Do you also know what the empty weight on the bus originionally was. more curiosity than anything on that question.

Re: Axle Weight Ratings
The empty weight on a seated bus was approximately 28,500lbs. This varied slightly depending on what the specs of the coach were.
