I just finished weighing my 1977 Royale and it only came in at 9900 lbs.I weighed it before but it had tanks that were part full and the weight showed 9960. I used certified jump scales so the numbers should be right. It had the fuel tanks full but no water/holding tanks and the cabinets are empty with no clothes, food or tools. It showed 2000 lbs each side in front,3350 left side rear and 2750 right rear. It seems most of the Rally weigh in's show coaches that are considerably heaver. I'm happy of course but wonder if others have run into a light weight unit. I can't imagine putting 1500 of 'junk' into it to get the weight up to normal.

Hal,
Have it reweighed after you (and your wife?) have it ready for the road with glasses, silverware, toaster, pots, pans, dishes, food,
drink, tools, spares, full water, and fuel. I'll bet you'll be surprised by how much weight it gains! ;-)
Suggest you use the terms driver and passenger sides instead of left and right.
Regards,

Now Rob, if I used 'driver' and 'passenger' you folks 'down under' could be confused by which side I was referring too. LOL
