Using those weights you now need to look up the tire pressures for each axle.

My guess is you are seriously overweight and should start considering how to bring those weights down to something near the limits for your coach, or recognize that you may have to adjust your driving habits to compensate for the additional stresses those excess weights impose on your air bags, brakes, bearings, etc.
Jon - you were correct with your guess. The data plate shows:

  • Steer axle - 14,600 lbs
  • Drive axle - 20,400 lbs
  • Tag axle - 12,000 lbs
  • Gross weight - 47,000 lbs


That puts me almost 3,000 lbs overweight! Ack!

On tire inflation table. are the weights listed per wheel or per axle? In other words, do I need to divide the numbers by two (for the steer axle and tag axle) and by four (for the drive axle) to get the weight per tire? I'm confuzzled!

Any ideas on how to shed weight? I'm already on a diet and have lost 18 lbs since December 14th on my way to losing 65 lbs. I don't think I have enough to lose to get Evangeline under weight, though!
