2005 Allure 430 Hood River 40' Quad slide - Holland IFS on the front - full'ish diesel
Actual - courtesy of enforcement weighbridge !!
5640 kg = 12435 lbs
(Drive axle 7370 kg = 16,250 lbs
Tag axle 3720 kg = 8200 lbs
In case your enquiry is tyre pressure related - I run our Hankook AH22's at around 100 - 110 psi all around without problems / overheating - advice of Hankook Technical - over here in the UK
With best wishes to all CC's west of 'the pond'

I have the same rig and took it across the scales a few months back. I don't have the scale ticket available at the moment, but, my recollection was that I came in just under 10K (about 9850ish) on the steer. Bins loaded to the gills, tank full of fuel, etc.

We have a 2004 Model 40' Allure High Cascade, two slide. It was built in Sept of 2003, and from what I can see, was sort of a cross over between 2003 and 2004 models:)!
Here are our four corner weights, for the steer:
L Front - 5800
R Front - 6100
(Combined) - 11,900
(Weight to be used for Axle Weight) - 12,200
Note that I have a 11.9K font axle weight. But double the heavier "R" side, and use the 12,200 for my Axle Weight. I also used the 6100 weight, when consulting the for me, Michelin Tire PSI Chart. It reflected for 6100 lbs, that 90 PSI was the right PSI. But, it was within the upper 75% of the weight range for the Michelin PSI weights. So I elected to go up to the next line level on the chart, which indicate 95 PSI. I then also add a 10% safety factor, so +9.5 PSI - and set my tire PSI to 105 PSI (Rounding up to the next closet "0" or "5" second end digit value (Just to make it easier to remember.) in this case, 104.5 rounded to 105 PSI.)
This allows for weigh creep while traveling, and also allows for a few PSI stoppage while traveling, and still remaining above the Michelin's recommend value of 90 PSI. Overkill? Sure, but it keeps me comfortable while driving down the road.
Final note, my above steer weights, are fully loaded and ready to travel. Including full fuel, full water (Which I try not to travel with too often., and full stock of wines:)!
Best to you, and all,
Smitty
