    Default Weight and balance thinky

    This is the picture of the data plate in my coach. The individual axle weights add up to 49000 lbs while the GVWR is at 45000. I have not see this anomaly in another brand bus builder.
    I am interested in the group think as to the reason behind this. I have one knowledgable opinion and am sorta formulating my own.
    What do other 40 foot coaches have for weight limitations/combinations?
    This is probably old business for some of you.

    One knowledgable opinion I have recieved is it was an attempt by Prevost Car to allow some flexability to the converters for weight distribution.

    My own thought is maybe because of the monocoque construction as opposed to a couple of beams down the middle?
