So why wOuld Winnebago produce a new motorhome, 2014 Trend 23 ft,where the rear GAWR iis several hundred pounds more than the load capacity of the supllied tires. 225/75/160, I presume LRE ?? Is this even legal for a "manufacturer" to do this? Anyone know if 225/75/16s are available in a load rates ng higher than E ??

Not legal--I suspect that you need to be sure of what tires are used to be sure.

Dwayne, race car restoration. WAS at the top of the list but $50K damage to house ,( basement)messed that up.Right now I have too many vehicles that need repair to worry about buying something else. But I'd still like to get a GMCMH someday.
It's minus 17C in Toronto right now!!!!
