i am in a bit of a quandary.  i'm in the process of registering my bus in PA as a motor home and  in order for the state to do so they need the gross weight (maximum the vehicle can legally weigh).  they are being somewhat nit-picky and i need some cold hard figures.  can anyone help me out?

That's what mine says.  Did you look in your owner's book, it might be in there?

Hope that helps

You are quite !  Glad to be of service. 

That is a Westfalia weight by the way.

Peace

right.  one more thing, is the weight in kg or poundss (i´m assuming kg, right?)

[Busaholic]

Just double checked to be sure and it is in lbs.  Somewhere along the line in the bay windows I think they switched from kg to lbs on labels.  I could be wrong and it was just those imported to the US or something, but I know the 2 70's I have are listed in kg and the 78 is lbs.  Good luck
