The current brochure has the front GAWR as 5000. The one I downloaded on 1 July 2014 had front GAWR as 4600. Looks like Phoenix corrected it.

I was going by the brochure I downloaded from Phoenix, it says 4600 for the front axle. So it's really 5000? That helps.

That's along the lines that I was thinking.
However, the total vehicle weight can never be more than the sum of the weights on the 2 axles. When those max weights are added together we get 14100, not 14500. According the limiting weights on the axles the max weight of the RV could never exceed 14100. Does that make sense?

2910T weights-HELP
I was just looking at the published weight limits again. There are only 2 ways to get weight onto the RV, either it goes on the rear axle or the front axle. By adding the published limits of rear & front axle together, we get a total of 14100, not the 14500 that is published.......Front axle GAWR 4600 + rear axle GAWR 9500 = 14100. I talked to a tech at Ford Motorhome Division and he said all three of those weights are limiting, do-not-exceed weights.
I must be missing something. I don’t see how we can load another 400 lbs onto any axle to get to the GVWR of 14500. It seems the GVWR should be 14100. Can anyone help me here?

Jas,
Reading your post made me wonder about our 2910T coming off the line next month. I just talked to Earl this morning. He told me that the yellow sticker inside the door has the vehicle weights on it. He told me ours should have around 2000 LBS of cargo carrying capacity (CCC). He was at the Hershey RV show & checked the 2015 Phoenix Cruiser 3100 they are showing there. It's the one pictured on the website inventory page. It has a CCC of 2200 LBS.
:)Makes me wonder if the scale operator didn't have you lined up quite right. Hope this all works out.

Thanks for the info, that's what we were hoping to hear. The reason we picked PC was mainly because of the quality...well they look great too! This Ford chassis has been around for a while & seems to be a really good platform. We are newbies to the motor home world so it's great to have access to owners who have experience. Our pick-up date is October 20th....really looking forward to seeing it.

WOW this drive train vibration issue is not the news we wanted hear. 
We pick up our 2910T next month. Does anyone know how common this vibration is on the PCs? Is there a place to get it fixed in Elkhart?
Thanks to everyone for all the information posted.

Our PC just left the wiring shop this week. We traded our Spree 323 RLS in on a 2910T. We're looking to pick it up in late October. What a great forum! Thanks to everyone, I've learned a lot. The posts on the pin hole in the sani con tells me I need to check that before we leave the factory....YIKES!!
