good write offs. I like the front bumper on this model better than the MTVR

Do you have newer built tires? or just brave? I have not tried to air mine down as my build date tires are old. I believe btwn 1999 and 2007.

definitely make sure you keep a pulling rope on them so when you need to pull the set closest to the cab, you can pull them with that rope. I still have not pulled mine as I could only reach the rear section.

Georgia Class C driver license saved from Georgia's website. I believe this to mean applicable to an RV, camper, motor home.

In Georgia - my SF97 for my MK25 shipping weight was listed at 26,000 lbs. If the tag office allows you to purchase an register a tag based on the total weight you declare to ever carry/tow, if that total weight stays at/under 26,000 lbs, a regular Class C driving license should suffice...

@aw113sgte love it! thanks for updates and sharing! Any need to add a protective covering over your minisplit's to fan blades?

Are all MTVR's capable of towing the same weight capacities? I came across the attached MK31 and it has a GCWR of 138,200 lbs. Curb Weight: 27,800 lbs. (12610 kg) Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR): 138,200 lbs. (62686 kg) Fifth Wheel Vertical Loading: 32,000 lbs. (14515 kg)

I have seen those plates before. Thanks for sharing them. The military requested for them to be 'derated' when they accepted the posted trailer rating of 22,000 lbs. Unless I am interpreting their data wrong. They list max cargo of 30,000 lbs and max trailer of 22,000. Does that mean...

I’m sure I’ll get many different answers but I’ll stop at a weight station and talk with DOT. The listed max trailer weight of 22,000 may be the show stopper.

He would only share their disclosed and published GVWR of 62,200. He wouldn’t share what Oshkosh rates it for based on how it’s built.

I spoke with an Oshkosh Defense, Product Training Center's Technical Support Specialist today and he told me the military derated the trucks and the GVWR is all they requested. I asked if they would re-rate it to their true rated capacities and ofcourse they said they would not and the military...

that would align more to this: GVWR is 62,200 - 28,000 (VCW) = 34,200 + 22,000 (trailer) = 56,200 lbs

I am going to get my non CDL, Class E but unless the trucks legally rated higher than 22,000 lbs, I will keep towing with my 1 ton though.

I wonder what DOT would go by? I believe the tires are rated at 14,540 each or combined weight of 87,240 lbs.

I am also trying to find out what the GCWR's are by variant. I have a 2001 MK25 GVWR 62,200 lbs GCWR ? Actual Vehicle Curb Weight (VCW) 28,020 lbs (Listed VCW 28,642) GAWR 65,000 lbs FRONT 16,000 MIDDLE 23,500...
