The unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) of a 1999 Tiffin Allegro M28 typically ranges around 12,000 to 14,000 pounds, depending on the specific configuration and options. This weight represents the vehicle's total weight without any passengers, cargo, or additional fluids. For precise figures, it's advisable to consult the manufacturer's specifications or the owner's manual.
Unloaded weight is just what it implies. The vehicle with no occupants and no load. A gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable total weight of a road vehicle when loaded - i.e including the weight of the vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight.
To find the weight of an unloaded step-van, you can use a commercial vehicle scale, which is specifically designed to weigh vehicles. Simply drive the step-van onto the scale and record the weight displayed. Alternatively, you can refer to the manufacturer's specifications or the vehicle's owner's manual, which typically lists the curb weight, representing the weight of the vehicle without cargo or passengers.
Deduct the actual weight of the vehicle (E-350 Van) from 10,500 lbs. The remainder is the weight capacity of the cargo (including Passenger weight) that the manufacturer specifies for the vehicle. If vehicle weight is unknown buy a weight ticket at a commercial scale and drive it unloaded onto the scale with the normal driver on board. Subtract this weight from 10,500 lbs. The remainder would be the maximum legal cargo weight which may be loaded.
12000
Gross Unloaded Curb Weight: Approximately 3,500 Lbs
As cargo is being unloaded, the weight of the ship decreases. This reduction in weight causes the ship to displace less water, resulting in a buoyant force that gradually lifts the ship higher in the water. This process continues until the ship reaches a new equilibrium where its weight is balanced by the buoyant force.
"Tare" weight. means the unloaded weight of whatever it is that you are weighing (e.g.: To weigh a truckload of stone you must first know the unloaded weight (tare weight) of the truck. Then, to find the weight of just the stone, subtract the tare weight of the truck from the total weight of the loaded truck. The difference will show you the weight of the stone).
Allegro is a manufacturer who, throughout their history, have manufactured more than one model of motorhome. We'd need to know what that model is in order to answer this question.
to calculate ton on a vehicle i am assuming you are talking about how to calculate the weight that can be loaded to a vehicle first drive unloaded vehicle to scales and have it weighed this will give u an unladen weight you then find the goss vehical weight(gvw) that is usually on a tag somewhere near a door of vehicle and also on registration papers you the subtrat enpty weight ,eg 17000 lbs, from gross weight,80.000 lbs this will give you your tare weight (load weight) 63000 lbs 63000 lbs converted to tons is 31.5 so you can load 31.5 tons onto tht vehicle the gvw includes all all load and trappings(tarps,tiedowns,etc) fuel and passengers
The best way would be to take it to a certified public scale. Most truck stops have scales. Look in the yellow pages or search online for one in your area (They are EVERYWHERE ) and call ahead to check times that they are open to weigh... If it is newer there should be a tag on it that will tell you the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and it should say on there the UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight) this would be the weight of your empty camper or trailer.
In most parts of the United States, a loaded tractor-trailer (also called a Class 8 commercial vehicle) can have a maximum loaded weight (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR) of 80,000 lbs, or 40 tons. Unloaded, depending on the type of tractor and trailer, the truck might weigh roughly between 25,000 and 40,000 lbs.
Loaded or unloaded? 2-30kg loaded is the most common range.
