Nope, 235 US gallons; the tank sits between the
rear frame rails behind the rear axle and is
about 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and over a food
deep. 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

)required vanagon content).  It has six 16-ply
(H-rated) tires. For more info go to
