Hi again everyone. I'm still searching for my first motorhome. Just when I think I have it narrowed down, there is a bend in the road.
I am looking at a 2009 Tiffin Allegro 35QBA FRED. GVWR is 24,000 lbs. GCWR is 26,000 lbs. The UVW off the chassis sticker is 20,445 lbs. What I am finding is there is not a lot of capacity for "stuff" once the coach is loaded and pulling a toad. Correct me if I'm wrong:
GCWR - 26,000 lbs
Subtract
Dry weight of coach (20,445 lb)
Water (86 gal) - (714 lb)
Propane (24 gal) - (81 lb)
People (4) - (500 lb)
Toad - (~3,500 lb)
Remaining: 760lb for "stuff"??? Doesn't sound like very much.
Are my calculations correct? According to the specs, if this coach had a workhorse chassis I could actually haul more since the workhorse chassis itself weights much less than the FRED???

Thank you in advance.
