GVW after Cummins swap?

Forgot to add I ran her over the weigh scales on the way home from the lake.

Points to consider on weight additions to #846:
- + 300/lbs with extra water tank up front
- + 400/lbs with the 12-valve
- + 100/lbs with the air-spring assemblies

* Honda EV4000 genset is 170/lbs lighter than ole' Onan it supplanted.

#846 GVW

Payload: approx 2/3rds full water & waste tankage; 2-adults and 100 lbs of dog.

Front axle: 5368-lbs.
Rear " ": 10120-lbs.

Total: 15,488 - lbs.

That should give you about 12 lbs of extra 'stuff' you can carry.

Yeah, it's gettin' up there. One thing I should have done at the scale was check the air spring pressure to confirm they were both equally inflated to 25 lbs or so then weighed her front and rear... then let all the air out and weight it again. I'm anxious to confirm (or otherwise) the idea that air springs actually can/do transfer weight from back to front and if so, is it significant? Will report if/when I remember to do it. That's a whole nother' smoke, remembering.
