I just took it for a ride and snuck across the scale and the grain bin (they leave it on)

It was 10,100. Gross weight for a 23-footer 10,500,right? I was surprised to find it so heavy.

It might have a full water tank. other tanks are empty Most of the cabinetry is original, lots of things are probably lighter than the original like the fridge and cooktop.

What am i missing
Dave,

Maybe nothing. My 73-23 tipped a truck scale at 9480 years ago with full water and fuel. This is on the light side and I am sure that it is heavier now. All of our interior is plywood and not particle board. I don't know about Coachmen.
