Generally speaking, the 77 & 78 26' ROYALE'S by Coachman Industries are the
heaviest coaches. All of them that still have the Onan generators will go
over 10,000 pounds.
74, 75, 76 GMC built coaches usually are the lightweights. Many early
coaches are heavy, don't have an explanation for that.
We weighed all coaches at a GMCWS rally at Casa de Fruita, California a
few years back, and checked ride height, too. Also checked side to side
weights.
Finally stopped checking ride heights. Futile exercise. None were
correct at the rally except for 2 coaches, my 78 Royale 26' and Jerry
Work's 26' coach. Some were at least 3" or more low.
Many of the coaches were several hundred pounds over the GVW
recommended on the tags.
