4. Compare reading 2 with the GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating) of your vohiclo. This rating
is located on the certification tag. If the reading
exceeds the GVWR rating, you will have to
reduce the total vehicle load.
5. If ,eading 2 is less than the GVWR 0/ your
vehicle, check readings 1 and 3 to verify that
each is less than Ihe GAWR on the certification
tag. If either exceeds tha GAWR lor the axle,
redlstributo
enough of the load to ensure that
loads on the front and rear axlos aro within tho
required limit.
Periodically rowoigh your
motor home. Different
traveling configurations
may change your loading and
weight pattern.
WARNING: DO NOT E~CEED THE RATED toAO OF
THE MOTOR HOME. OR THE RATED toAD OF ANY
AXLE. EXCEEDING THE GAWR OR GVWR OF YOUR
MOTOR HOME CAN CAUSE UNDESIRABLE HAN-
DLING CIlARACTERISTICS AND MAY CREATE A
SAFETY HAZARD.

Loading Tips
After you have determined how much weight you
can safely carry and selected those items to make up
that weight, make a list and keep it for future refer·
ence. Load the motor home and distribute the load so
that you get proper weight on the axles. Don't load
hoavy items in upper cabinets. Secure and brace items
so they won't move during travel, thereby shiftirlg
motor home load. Do not load he~vy items near either
end of the motor home or on the rear bumper. Adjust
cargo storage to keep the side to side wheel loads
as equal as possible. Carry only as much water as
needed for travel use or to balance the load. WheneVllr
possible,
empty the holdirlg tanks before traveling.
WARNING: MODlFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE BY
ADDITION OF RACKS NOT SPECIFIED BY THE MAN·
UFACTURER TO CARRY ADDITIONAl EQUIPMENT
OR VEHICLES IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
Make a lo~ding diagram of your properly loaded
motor home. It w,1I help you locato where specific
items are stored, and will help speed tho loading
process. Store emergency items in a readily accessible
location. Include a fire extinguisher, tools, jack, first-
aid kit, rain gear, flashlight. highway warning devices,
and an electric cord with light.
WAR~JING: 00 NOT STORE OR CARRY LP GAS CON-
TAINERS, GASOLINE. OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS INSIDE YOUR MOTOR HOME.
TRAILER HITCHES AND TOWING
If you expect to pull a trailor With your motor home.
please use these gUidelines when choosing a hitch
and trailer:
• Hitch classification:
Class II
• Limit the vort,cai hitch load (tongue weight of the
t,ailer) to a maximum of 250 pounds. Heavier
vertical hitch
loads can cause damage to your
motor home rear frame and body, cause unstable
drivmg and handling characteristics. and may
restrict your rights undor the Ownercare warranty.
• Do nO! tow a traHer weighing more than 3500
pounds. or more than recommended by the chassis
manufactu",r I~s described belOW). whichever is
less. Heavier tmilors
can cause damage to the
moter home structure or drive train. cause unstable
driving Or handling characteristics. or restrict your
rights
under the Ownorcaro warranty.
• Check the following chart (provided hy the chassis
manufacturer) to determine the Gross Combined
Weight Rating IGCWRI of the motor home chassis.
The Gross Combined Weight is the tOlal weight of
the fully
loaded !notor home with driver, all
passengers. all cargo and the fully loaded trailer.

home is overloaded; you'll have to remove Items
to bring lhe weight down to or below the GCWR.
Alternate gem ratios and suspension springs may
be retrofitted for special towing needs. Contact your
local chassis manufacturer dealer for chassis
recommendations. Exceeding these GCWR's may
causo damage to your motor home drive train or
chassis, unstable driving and handling characteristics.
and may void your warranty.

Gross Veh,de Woight R~ting IGVWR) of eithe, the
motor home, the trailer, or the Gross Combinad Weight
Rating IGCWRI of the motor home. If any of these
ratings are exceeded. weight must be eliminated or
shifted until scale weights am equal to or less than
ratings.
Towing Automobiles
If you plan to tow an automobile with your motor
home, the tongue weight must not exceed 250
pounds. The Gross Combined Weight must not oxcood
tho GCWR listed on the chart above.
CAUTION: TOWING DEVICES (OTHER THAN
WHEELED DOlliES) THAT RAISE THE FRONT OR
REAR WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE IN TOW OFF THE
GROUND CREATE TONGUE WEIGHTS IN EXCESS
OF THE 250 POUNDS MAXIMUM, AND MUST NOT
BE USED.
