THe 35 foot model has a 265 gallon fuel tank while newer models have 300 gallon tanks. I also can carry 98 gallons of fresh water and 88 gallons of waste water (51 gray - 37 black) and 45 gallons of propane. FWIW, the GVWR of the coach is 34,000 lbs, it has a class 4 hitch with a 750 tongue/7,500 load capacity; I pull my Vanagon Camper behind it on a tow dolly <http://home.earthlink.net/~goldibox/images/81BluebirdFC33SB/DCP_0001.JPG> )required vanagon content). It has six 16-ply (H-rated) tires. For more info go to www.vintagebirds.com.
