Bob -

MCI 7s, 8s and 9s have this on their plaque, yours should be somewhat similar:

12K on front axle
20K on drive axle
06K on tags
______________

38K total.

Or simply call Prevost Tech Services and ask them.

FWIW & HTH. . .

;)

Ditto 1983-12K 20K 10K and the rear can be raised so you don't tear up campgrounds FWIW

Thanks Guys...On the scale''''11000 on front axle and 25000 on rear including tag so looks like with your figures it is weighted about rite..have 2 slides and granite floors..was wondering how it compared to what it was rated for...looks like it is good. well within original design...maybe a little front heavy..not a problem.

Robert, the wife's ears perked up when I mentioned that you have granite floors. We are looking to be changing ours from carpet to ? and would really like to see a picture of your floors if at all possible. Thanks a bunch, Will
