Hold the phone here!
My bus, like everyone elses to one degee or another left Prevost as a shell weighing in at a shade under 29,000 lbs. Now when Country Coach finished with it, the weight had migrated to a titch under 40,000 lbs.
A seated bus probably weighs in at the mid 30 range....say 35k with seats and an out house. The peeps weigh 160 lbs average or less and a big assumption is that they are all carrying 20 lbs of luggage...............still, with a full house, less than what my coach weighed when Country finished the conversion. (that's an FAA approved weight used by major airlines)
These conversions are much heavier than seated busses so to toss an increased axle load...well, simply put, that's no bueno! It is false logic to asume that a handful of folks seated in the arse end of a seated bus are heavier than what the average conversion is carrying....I'll tow...Thank You!!
