Re: Shorty fantasies
They're lighter, but have much less weight capacity. I have 25,000lbs to play with--a P30 will top out around 19K, and some are even less (I've seen them as low as 15,000). I don't think I could cram in enough stuff to overload my chassis...but it's VERY easy to have a P30, especially a larger one, right at its limit. I can carry 200 gallons of potable water, 30 gallons of propane, 45 gallons of diesel fuel, 60 gallons of gas, a 200lb spare tire, 200lbs of tools, a month worth of groceries, and KNOW i'm still nowhere near my maximum weight. A P30? Err, not so much.
Heck, some motorhomes on this chassis were overweight EMPTY. With JUST the driver and a full gas tank, they were overweight.
