MOTOR HOME LOADING
Responsibility for Proper Loading
As the operator of this motor home, you bear the sole
responsibility for proper, safe loading. This section will
guide you through the steps necessaryto properly and
safely load your vehicle.
Your motor home chassis is designed to carry a specific
maximum weight. This weight includes everything: the
weight ofthe empty motor home itsel!, all occupants and
their belongings, fuel, fresh water, waste water and any-
thing else that may be in or attached to the motor home.
A Few
Definitions First
Before discussing loading and weighing, we need to
explain some common weight terms. We'll use abbre-
viations in our discussion. These terms are:
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): This is
the maximum allowable load that this motor
home was designed to carry. Modifications to
your motor home, such as installing bigger
tires
or changing spring load capacities, will
not
in anyway increasethisweight rating.The
GVWR is shown on the Federal certification
tag posted on the left interior sidewall of the
driver's compartment.
GAWR
(Gross Axle Weight Rating): This is the
maximum allowable weight a specific axle is
designed to carry. Each axle has its own
GAWR. When you add the GAWRs, they will
not necessarily add up to the GVWR. The
GAWR is also shown on the Federal certifica-
tion tag posted on the left interior sidewall of
the driver's compartment.
GCWR
(Gross Combined Weight Rating): This
isthe maximum allowablecombined weight of
the fully equipped and loaded motor home
(including passengers, all cargo, fluids, etc.)
plus the weight of any fully loaded towed load
(such as a trailer, boat,
or automobile). The
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is
listed on the wardrobe door tag. Exceeding
the GCWR will cause damage to your motor
home drivetrain
or chassis, unstable driving
and handling characteristics, and will reduce
your warranty protection.
ONTHE ROAD
GTW (Gross Towed Weight): This is the maxi-
mum allowable loaded weight that this motor
home has been designed to tow. This cannot
be increasedby changing thetrailerhitch.The
GTW is listed on the wardrobe door tag.
MTW
(Maximum Tongue Weight): means the
maximum vertical load that the towed load
applies to the hitch of the motor home. The
MTW is listed on the wardrobe door tag.
UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight): This is the
calculated weight ofthe motor home, as built
at the factory with full fuel, engine oil (and
other engine/drivetrain fluids) and
LP gas.
The UVWdoesnotincludecargo, fresh water,
passengers,
or accessories installed by the
dealer. The UVW is listed on the wardrobe
doortag.
TOWING A VEHICLE OR TRAILER
("TOWED LOAD")
Note:Somestates and provincesrequirebrakes
and safety chains on towed vehicles. Consult
the proper authoritiesin the states or provinces
through which you will be traveling.
You must considerotherimportant weight factors if you
expect to pull a trailer, tow dolly,
or another vehicle
behindyourmotorhome.Thesefactors have limitations
just like the weight factors above. These factors are:
GCWR-Gross Combined Weight Rating
GTW-Gross Towed Weight
MTW-Maximum Tongue Weight
GAWR-Rear-Gross AxleWeightRating-Rear
axles or axles (if equipped with tag axles)
The ratings for these factors are all listed on the ward-
robe door tag.
I! you expect to pull a vehicle with your motor home,
there are additional guidelines that you must follow:
• Do
not use a load equalizing hitch. It could
cause structural damage to the
motor home
frame components.

8
•
•
Limitthe tongue weight of the trailer or towing
device to the
MTWas listedon the ratings tag.
Heavier tongue weights can damage your
motorhome frame
and body, cause unstable
driving
and handling characteristics, and will
restrict your coverage under the Ownercare
warranty.
Do not tow a vehicle weighing more than the
GTW listedon the wardrobe doortag. Heavier
towed loads can cause braking problems,
damage the motor home structure
or drive
train, cause unstable driving
or handlingchar-
acteristics, and restrict your coverage under
the Ownercare warranty. Changing the trailer
hitch will
not increase the tow capacity of the
motorhome.
The way your motor home handles will be affected by
the waythe towed unit is loaded.
If thetongue weight is
too light
in relation to the GTW, handling problems can
result. Careful load planning and safe experimentation
with different loading patterns can help improve motor
home handling stability and make your driving and
towing experience more enjoyable.
WARNING
DONOT EXCEEDTHE RATED LOADOFTHE
MOTOR HOME, OR THE RATED LOAD OF
ANY AXLE. EXCEEDINGTHE GVWR,GAWR
OR GCWR OF YOUR MOTOR HOME WILL
REDUCEYOUR WARRANTY PROTECTION,
CAN CAUSE UNDESIRABLE HANDLING
CHARACTERISTICS AND MAY CREATE A
SAFETY HAZARD.
Carrying Capacity and Load Distribution
The allowable carrying capacity of the motor home is
the differencebetweentheGVWR andthe weightofthe
empty motor home. When the motor home is being
designed, the number and size of storage compart-
ments, the liquid tank capacities and numberof belted
seating positions are maximized for value and conve-
nience.lfyou fill all liquidtanks to capacity, fill all storage
MOTOR HOME READINGS (from tags)
compartmentsandcupboardsto maximum volumeand
fill all available seating positions with passengers, the
motorhome will be overloaded.The numberof passen-
gers and placement of cargo will affect the amount of
water and cargo that you can carry (See" Loading
Tips") .
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. When the
loadis properlydistributed,yourmotorhomewill handle
better, and you asthe driverwill be more confident and
comfortable.
Ifyour motorhome is improperly loaded, driving will be
more uncomfortable and much ofyourdriving attention
will be given to correcting vehicle wandering, drift, pull
and sudden directionalchangescaused by wind blasts.
If the front axle load is below 80-85% of the front axle
capacity, these handling discomforts will be more no-
ticeable. Always aim to load your motor home so that
the front axle is loaded to at least 80-85% of the front
GAWR.
Note: Carrying capacities
of your motorhome
are specified on a labelaffixed to the inside
of
a wardrobe door. The label includes allfactory
installed options.
If other equipment such as
leveling jacks, awnings, roof pods, etc., are
installed after the motor home leaves the fac-
tory, the weight of these items must be sub-
tracted from the total of the passenger and
cargo carrying capacities.
How To WeighYour Loaded Motor Home
Without A Trailer or Other Towed Load
Refer to your local telephone directory to find a public
weigh station. The following procedures will help you
determine whetheryour loaded motor home (complete
with cargo, fluids, passengers, and driver) is within
GAWR, GVWR, and GCWR limits. When you arrive at
aweighstation, the attendantwill guideyouthroughthe
correct positioning of the motor home on the scales.

you prepare to load for future trips.
Loading Tips
•
•
•
Do not load heavy items in upper cabinets.
Secure and brace items so they wont move
during travel, thereby shifting the load.
Do notload heavyitemsneareitherend ofthe
motor home
or on the bumpers.

SEATS AND SEAT BELTS
Seatbelts helptorestrain you and yourpassengers in case
of a collision.
In most states, the law requires their use
Seat belts provide the best restraint when:
• The seat back is upright
• The occupant
is sitting upright(notslouching)
• The lap beltis snug and low on thehipsthe
• Shoulder belt is snug against the chest
• The knees are straight forward
For your safety, your vehicle has combination lap and
shoulder belts for the driver and front seat passenger
and lap belts without retractors in all other designated
seating positions

after a collision.
Safety Restraints for Children
In most states, you are required by law to use safety
restraints for children. If small children (less than four
years old, and under 40 pounds) ride in your vehicle,
you must put them in safety seats that are made
specially for children. Safetybelts alone do not provide
maximum protection for these children. Check your
local and state laws for specific requirements.
