Hi Was wondering if any new owners of 179 could provide the GVWR that is on the "decal certification" of their unit. Also if their Unit included : AC, TV, Riser, Radio, Convection in the calculation of GVWR. I am researching possible Tow vehicles for a 179. Many Thanks John ------------- John Kris "Lady Sarah" our Golden Aiken SC |

GVWR will not change regardless of options. That is set by axle/tire ratings etc. The amount one can carry in addition to "as built" weight will vary based on options. This affects the actual weight. GVWR is what it is designed to total out as. The GVWR on mine is 3785- and that should be the same on all 179's. This makes sense as the axle is 3500 rated and they figure on 285 on the hitch... ------------- 2014 179 Towed by a 2015 Ford Transit Diesel Supervised by a German/Aussie mix and a Labradoodle! |
