Attached below is the OCCC sticker on my 2019 2910T. It shows a OCCC of 1255 lbs. My coach has the Liquid Spring rear suspension which adds around 385 lbs to the rear axle weight. This sticker is mounted on the front passenger door jamb. My salesmen, Barry Hyser and Bob White at the Jacksonville Campers Inn(CI), gladly took pictures of the tags on the various coaches on their lot and sent them to me. Of course, not all salesmen have the expertise that Barry has, since he is the former production manager at the Phoenix factory and Bob is a former CI rep at the factory. As I'm sure you know, the OCCC numbers will change slightly depending on options on the coach. Bob even took the coach I purchased and had it weighed for me before I agreed to purchase it.
Also attached below is the weight ticket from my fully loaded for travel 2910T. By loaded I mean with a significantly less amount of items than I had previously on my 38 ft diesel pusher I downsized from. As you can see, I am overloaded on the rear axle by about 400 lbs. I am ok with this number since one of the first things I did after purchasing the coach was to replace the factory tires with Michelin Agilis Cross Climate C metric tires. These tires provide an additional 400 lb capacity per tire on the rear axle (dual configuration). The original tires are essentially at rated capacity at the 9600 lb axle capacity. I did not decide to purchase the coach until I had located a higher load rated tire to replace the factory ones.
I also talked to Wayne Wells at Liquid Spring and he assured me that their suspension system would easily handle 11,000 lbs. Of course, he is very careful to point out that their system does not increase the rated loaded capacity of the rear axle of 9600 lbs. The Liquid Spring suspension is worth every pound of additional weight but is no longer installed on the 31 foot coaches due to how much it pushes the weight limit on the Ford E450 chassis.
The 2910D model should be around 400 lbs lighter than the 2910T since it only has 2 slides.
