THE DRY WEIGHT ON THE REAR AXLE IS 13759 WITH NO WATER IN THE COACH WHEN THE COACH IS LOADED WITH 65 GAL'S OF WATER AN NORMAL FOOD AND CLOTHES THE REAR AXLE WEIGHT IS OVER 15000 LBS THIS RESULTS IN A SERIOUS HANDELING AND BRAKING PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE, IT WAS LEAKING ONTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CONTACTED DEALER ,AND DEALER REPLACED FUEL TANK. FUEL TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. *AK

THIS UNIT WAS MADE WITH AXLES THAT WERE TOO SMALL FOR THE UNITS SIZE. THE AXLES WERE RATED AT 5200# EACH AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 6000# S. WE HAVE A GVWR OF 13500#. OUR UNIT WEIGHTED 13320#S PRPOERLY LOADED, BUT THE AXLE WEIGHT WAS 10480#S WHICH IS 80# OVER AWR. THE COMPANY ( MONACO COACH) MADE US PAY $ 495.39 TO INSTALL 6,000# AXLES IN THIS UNIT TO MAKE IT SAFE. I BELIEVE ALL MODELS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME UP DATE WITH NO COST TO THE OWNERS,AND WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR OUR EXPENCES. WE HAVE ALL OF THE WEIGHT SHEETS AND LETTERS AND ETC. WE CAN SEND TO YOU. I WOULD AISO BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO APPEAR BEFORE A HEARING ON THIS MATTER.
