My next coach will be a dynamax grandsport. Based on a truck its GCWR is 80,000 lbs I beleave.

Hey John. Before shooting off with that pie hole, check your facts. This is my specs.

Apology not required.

Old hiker, when you get into tag axle rigs costing over $300,000 the GCWR's go way up. However, I would still almost bet that if you take your rig to the scales its much higher than on the MFG sticker. I know my fleetwood disovery is, my buddys bounder diesel is, even my old winie Brave was close to 2000# over.

If your not over, good for you... I wish i was in the same boat, like I said....i need a new rig badly!

What motor you got in that thing, Cummins ISX 600, 525???

It has the ISM 500hp engine with over 1800 ft lbs of torque! Imagine the pulling power the H2 would have with this setup.

I'm going to try an engine swap one weekend!

500 Nice =). Lets hope for the Diesel H2 in 09 or 10.
