I would be interested in learning what the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Axle Weight Ratings are for various year model and length Newells.

If you have access to your VIN plate or still have the information for a Newell you previously owned, I would appreciate it if you could list your coach year model, length, coach number (if 1990 or above it is at then end of the VIN), GVWR, and GAWR for front, drive and tag (if applicable).

Thanks to Linda, I know that their 1979 Newell had a GVWR of 30,500 pounds, a front GAWR of 12,000 pounds and a rear GAWR of 18,500 pounds.

I also know that some of the early 1990's with tag axles had a GVWR of 45,200 pounds, with a GAWR of 14,200 pounds for the front, 21,000 drive, and 10,000 pounds for the tag.

I know that by 1999, the front axle had been increased to 17,640 pounds on at least some coaches (thanks Tuga).

According to FMCA Magazine, the 2006 they tested had a GVWR of 59,580 pounds, with front axle of 18,180, drive of 26,400 and tag of 15,000.

According to Newell's website, beginning with coach 1251 the GVWR is 63,600 pounds, front axle of 18,700, drive 28,600, tag 16,000.

THANKS!! I will share this information (no names) and other information I have regarding Newell's from 1967 to present with those that attend the mini-rally in Austin in April.
