UVW of 2000 Winnebago Journey

nij_tp · 01-10-2015, 12:18 PM

Hi I have received the paperwork for my Journey (the vehicle is still in NH) on all the info there is onky reference to GVWR but the cost of registration is based of UVW and I dont want to over pay. Where would I look to find it? Its not on the documentation (that only has GVWR) The brouchure also only lists GVWR. Apologies if this is a dumb question.

Thanks in advance

You will be able to get all of the specifications from the brochures available on the Winnebago website. For more detailed information I would contact Winnebago directly.

I have the brouchure, the operators manual, the infocase that has the specification label. None list the UVW

By UVW I'm assuming you mean Unloaded Vehicle Weight. You won't find that information anywhere in the brochure, because it's specific to the coach with all the options the original dealer or owner ordered. There should be (or was when the motorhome was delivered) an 8 1/2" X11" sheet of paper glued in the wardrobe closet with all the options, capacities, and weight of the vehicle as it rolled off the assembly line.

If that sticker no longer exists or you can't get to it you can call, e-mail or write the Winnebago Service Administration people with your Winnebago serial number.

Ok thanks for that. I remember seeing a label in the wardrobe. I will ask the guy at the storage lot to have a look. Im 600 miles south of the MH at the moment

My 2014 Itasca has a big yellow sticker on the driver's door, as well as a duplicate of that, in with all the paperwork in the owner's manual, which lists the OCCC of the vehicle. Subtracting that from the GVWR will give you the weight of the vehicle. That weight also includes a full tank of fuel which should be subtracted to get the actual weight of the MH.

Unfortunately my mh doesnt have occc on the door sticker or the one in the owners manual case.

The UVW weight on my 2000 Horizon is 20,824 per the sticker in the closet.

My 2000 Journey 36G list UVW as 16529 Lbs.

Thank you both for your replies. Wizard could I be really cheeky and ask you to take a picture of the build sheet (or whatever you have this info on). This way I can have some kind of documentation to back up my claim of what the UVW is.

Thanks in advance

Thank you Wizard. Got your pm as well but not allowed to respond.

I always thought the 2000 Itasca Horizon and 2000 Winnebago Journey were almost the same motor home however the weight differences between 20,824 for the Horizon and 16,529 for the Journey didn't make sense. However the photo of the weight sheet from the Journey, sent by Wizard, explains the difference. It must have been a keying error as the sheet lists the weight at 19,529 only a 1,295 difference that could be explained by the weight of options and engine choice.
