WARNING
LP GAS CONTAINERS SHALL NOT BE PLACED OR STORED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. LP GAS CONTAINERS ARE
EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY DEVICES WHICH RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING GAS TO THE
ATMOSPHERE.
WARNING
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING. COOKING APPLIANCES NEED
FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION. BEFORE OPERATION:
1. OPEN OVERHEAD VENT OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN, AND
2. OPEN WINDOW.
THIS WARNING LABEL HAS BEEN LOCATED IN THE COOKING AREA TO REMIND YOU TO PROVIDE AN
ADEQUATE SUPPLy OF FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION. UNLIKE HOMES, THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN SUPPLY
IS LIMITED DUE TOTHE SIZE OF THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, AND PROPER VENTILATION WHEN USING
THE COOKING APPLIANCE(S) WILL AVOID DANGERS OF ASPHYXIATION., IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
THAT COOKING APPLIANCES NOT BE USED FOR COMFORT HEATING AS THE DANGER OF ASPHYXIATION
IS GREATER WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS USED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
WARNING

MOTOR HOME LOADING.···v
Your motor home chassis is designed to carry a certain
..... maximum load. This load includeseverything:theweight
. of the empty motor home Itself,all occupants and their
belongings,
fuel, fresh water, waste water and anything
else that may be in or attacherj to the motor home.
The maximum load for which ihe motor home is de-
signed is called the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RAT-
ING (GVWi'I). Modifications to your motor home, i.e.,
changing tires or spring load capacities, will not in any
way increase the GVWR., .
Another critical weight factor is the GROSS' AXLE
WEIGHT RATING (GAWR).Thisisthe maximum weight
a specific axle is designed to carry. Each axle has its
own GAWR,.The GAWR'sdo not necessarily add up to
the GVWR: .. . '. .-. , .
The GVWR and the GAWR for your motor home are
showrJ~>n the certification tag posted on the driver'sdoor
or
in the driver's complirtment. '.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED LOAD OF
THE MOTOR HOME, OR THE RATED LOAD
.,." .. OF ANYAXLE •. EXCEEDING THE GVWR OR
...... GAWROF· YOUR MOTOR HOME,WILL
REDUCE YOUR WARFlAN!YPROT,ECTION,
CAN CAUSE UNDESIRABLE HANDLING
CHARACTERISTICS AND
MAY CREATE A
SAFETY HAZARD.
In addition to knowing .the overall weight that can be
safely loaded in or attached to the motor home, you
must know how to distribute the weight so that correct
amounts of weight are placed on the axles. The allow-
able carrying capacity of the motor home is found by
weighing the motor home empty, and subtracting this
weight
from the GVWR.
Carrying Capacity
During the design and development of Fleetwood motor
homes, the number and size of storage compartments,
the liquid tank capacities and number of belted seating
positions are maximized for value and convenience. If
O~THE ROAD
you fillaliliquid tanks to capacity; fill all storage compart-
ments and cupboards to maximum volume and fill all
available seating positions with passengers, the motor
home will be overloaded. According to National High-
way Traffic Safety Administration figures, a vehicle
occupant
weighs 150 pounds. Additionally, each gallon
of gasoline weighs six pounds (6.0 Ibs.) and each gallon
of water. weighs over. eight pounds (8.3Ibs.) ..
You are responsible for analyzing the conditions under
which the motQr ,home will be used for each trip. The
number of passengers and placement of cargo will
affect the amount of water and cargo that you can carry
(Slle,:'l,.oadlngTips"}. For convenience, the passen-
ger
capacity for camping use and the passengercapac-
ity for day use are shown on a permanent label in the
c:lri~er:!larea (jr,adjacent to the main entry door. The
passenger capacity for camping provides reasonable
cargo capacity for trips taking more than one day. The
passenger capacity. for day use provides less. cargo
capacity for trips or activities not involving overnight
stays. For example, it may be necessary to reduce the
amount of water carried and unload some cargo items
normally carried for camping in order to providecarrying
cap'apity. lor the ;additional day use passengers.

Determining
And Distributing
Your Motor Home Load
If the loaded weight of your motor home exceeds the
GVWR,
you willhavetoremoveitemstobringtheweight
down to or below the GVWR. If the loaded axle weight
on
any axle exceeds the GAWR, you will have to
redistribute cargo to bring the weight down to or below
theGAWR.
Weighing Your Loaded
Motor Honie .. ; ' ..
. Refer to your local directory to locate a public weigh
station. The following weighing procedure will helpyou
determine whether your loaded motor hoine (complete
with cargo, fluids, passengers, and driver) is, within
GAWR and GVWR limits. When you arrive' at a weigh
station, the attendantwill guide
you through the correct
positioning of the motor home on the scales.
1. Centerthefrontwheelson the scaleplatformand
take a reading. This is the Front Gross Axle
Weight (Reading I).

3. Center the rear wheels on the platform and take a
reading. This reading is the Rear Gross Axle Weight
(Reading 3).
4. Compare Reading 2 with the GVWR
of your
vehicle. If the reading exceeds the GVWR rat-
ing,youwill haveto reduce thetotal vehicleload.
5. If reading 2 is less than the GVWR of your
vehicle, check Readings 1 and 3 to verify that
each is less than its respective GAWR.lf either
exceeds the GAWR, redistribute the load and
reweigh.
Periodically reweigh your motor heime. Loading and
'weight patterns will change according to use.
TIRES
Your motor home is equipped with truck tires. Under
.normal circumstances and with proper maintenance,
you should receive thousands of miles of trouble free
service.
Tire
Inflation
For safety and maximum tire life, proper inflation pres-
sure must be maintained. Properly inflated tires also
contribute to overall motor home stability and safety.
Refer to the tire section in your chassis operator's
manual for information on malntenanc~,inflation pres-
sure, and tire care.

Fuel Types
And Vapor Lock
Today's automotive fuel and emissions systems are

sophisticated and highly engineered to meet Federal
and State emissions standards.
Theyare'also some-
times sensitive to fuel types and blends, particularly
fuels blended for certain altitudes and climates. Fuel
suppliers provide customers with the correct fuel for
their location and seasonal conditions. Sometimes,

mer months.
"Vaporlock"occurswhen gasolinevaporizes,andvapor
pockets blockthe flow ofliquid fuel to the engine. Ifyou
experience engine stall
or stutter, you may be experi-
encing vapor lock.
If your engine and fuel system are properly tuned and
maintained, you should not experience this problem. If
