searching for an Argosy Minuet

Greetings Deb!

Welcome to the Forums!

I've been wondering what the loaded weight of a 22 ft is because our van can pull up to 3750 without distress. I just can't go over that weight so a 24 foot is out. any thoughts are, as always, greatly appreciated.
The Minuet was available in three lengths - - 6.0 Metre (20 feet in sales brochure); 6.7 Metre (22 feet in sales brochure); and 7.3 Metre (24 feet in sales brochure). The smaller two Minuets were single axle coaches while the 24' Minuet was a tandem axle coach. The attached scan is from the '79 sales brochure, but earlier model Minuets were of similar weight and configuration.



The thing to remember about these weights is that they are empty weights without options, fluids, and personal belongings. My '78 Minuet 6.0 Metre weighs 3,100 pounds when loaded for an extended trip and has a hitch weight of 550 pounds.

Good luck with your search!

Kevin
