Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to the weight the interior of a 23
(or 26' coach for that matter)?

What I am trying to figure out is what a coach weighs with just the cockpit
(dash seats, etc.) and drive train. Essentially a coach with all the
interior gutted from the cockpit back except the flooring. Items missing
include:

Generator
Propane tank
AC units
Roof top pod
Ladder
All interior walls and plumbing
Carpeting
Window treatments
Interior walls and cabinetry
Interior lighting
Black tank
12 and 110volt coach electrics
Furnace and ducting

I am looking at having it shipped (its not drivable) several hundred miles
and the shipper wants a weight estimate.

I understand that there were a lot of different companies who fitted them
out, but I'm assuming the base weight of a 23 (1973) was approximately
10,500. Since mine is missing the interior, I am guessing it may be between
7000-8500. Does that sound reasonable?
