Is this new news?? looks like Monaco has up-dated their 2009 down loadable product brochures.
The 251 Model has been dropped for 2009 and they added a Super C+, I also think I saw a note that our tail light design has been changed again?
The Trail-Lite brochure still looks the same as the 2006 and you can see the 2006 copy right date on the last page, the other series have a 2009 copy right date on theirs.

I think I was wrong about the tail light change as I couldn't find the note again?

Trail-Lite looks the same unless they up-date the web-site.

Hey Burl did I miss something? Did you mean Click here for Monaco floorplans?It is here.
Cheese1 is correct RVision is very slow updating their website. When I visited them in Warsaw a few years ago, I mentioned that to Mike and he said they have a hard time keeping website savy employees.
Mainer1 - Been meaning to ask if you've ever taken your rig across the scales? Just wondering how close you might be to the GVWR. I have heard it said that Chevy is still using the 1 ton 3500 chassis which is rated at 12,300 GVW. They supposedly consulted with workhorse, put their name on the door plate, and uprated it to compete with the Ford E450 which had a 14,050 GVWR. Just curious.

No, I haven't had it on the scales as yet, but I will as soon as the weather clears here in Maine after mud season... about April
OKCharles had the same rig as mine except his was the 12,300 GVWR, I think his weighed in at 9,600 empty and ~10,300 loaded.
I will post my loaded weight as soon as I can, I'm curious too to see what my CCC is!

You and Mainer are currently talking weight limits, and I know for much heavier 30 ft. Cs there is an approaching of the stated limit on cargo carrying capacity - CCC.
As an engineer by training, I am always aware of a safety margin in stated limits. Many, MANY discussions on these forums are about the CCC being close to or over-exceeded by 100 lbs, or something like that.
Is that really a big deal? I know our little rigs are nowhere near CCC issues, but even where folks are, what will happen if you exceed CCC by 1000 lbs?
My real question for "Mainer1" was one of interest in the ride quality. My rig has so much excess capacity that the ride on the suspension could jar'rrrr false teeth loose. I have to deflate the tires for a cushioning effect, yet not exceed the capacity of the tires at a lower pressure.
