MOTOR HOME LOADING
Responsibility for Proper Loading
As the operator of this motor home, you bear the sale
responsibility for proper, safe loading.This section will
guide you through the steps necessary to properly and
safely load your vehicle.
Your motor home chassis is designed to carry a specific
maximum weight. This weight includes everything: the
weightofthe empty motorhome itself, 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
homewas designed to carry. Modifications to
your motor home, such as installing bigger
tires
or changing spring load capacities, will
notin anyway increasethisweightrating.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 interiorsidewall of
the driver's compartment.
GCWR
(Gross Combined Weight Rating):This
isthe maximumallowablecombined weightof
the fully equipped and loaded motor home
(including passengers, all cargo, fluids, etc.)
plusthe weight of
any fully loadedtowed 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
beincreased by changingthe trailerhitch.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 of the motor home, as built
at the factory with full fuel, engine oil (and
other engine/drivetrain fluids) and
LP gas.
The UVWdoesnot include cargo, fresh water,
passengers,
or accessories installed by the
dealer. The UVW is listed on the wardrobe
door tag.
TOWING A VEHICLE OR TRAILER
("TOWED LOAD")
Note:Somestates and provincesrequirebrakes
and safety chains on towed vehicles. Consult
the
proper authoritiesin thestates or provinces
through which you will be traveling.
You mustconsiderotherimportantweightfactors ifyou
expect to pull a trailer, tow dolly,
or another vehicle
behindyourmotorhome.Thesefactorshavelimitations
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 AxieWeightRating-Rear
axles
or axles (if equipped with tag axles)
The ratings forthese factors are all listed on the ward·
robe doortag.
If 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 motorhome
frame components.

6
•
•
Limitthe tongue weight of the trailer or towing
deviceto the
MTW aslistedon 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 towa 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, causeunstable driving
or handlingchar-
acteristics, and restrict
your coverage under
the Ownercare warranty. Changing the trailer
hitch willnot increase the towcapacity
of the
motorhome.
The way your motor home handles will be affected by
the way the towed unit is loaded. Ifthe tongue weight is
too lightin 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
DO NOTEXCEEDTHE RATED LOAD OFTHE
MOTOR HOME, OR THE RATED LOAD OF
ANYAXLE.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
thedifferencebetweenthe GVWRandthe weightofthe
empty motor home. When the motor home is being
designed, the number and size of storage compart-
ments, the liquid tank capacities and number of beited
seating positions.,are maximized for value and conve-
nience.lfyoufill all liquidtankstocapacity, fill all storage
compartmentsand cupboardsto maximumvolumeand
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 w'eight so that correct
amounts of weight are placed on the axles. When the
load isproperlydistributed,yourmotorhomewill handle
better, and you as the driverwill be more confident and
comfortable.
Ifyour motorhome is improperly loaded, drivingwill be
more uncomfortableand much of yourdriving attention
will be given to correcting vehicle wandering, drift, pull
and sudden directionalchangescaused bywind 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 specifiedon a label affixed
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 motorhome 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 aTrailer 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,theattendantwill guideyou through the
correct positioning of the motor home on the scales.
1. Center the front wheels on the scale platform
andtakea reading.ThisisthefrontGrossAxle

2. Centertheentire motorhome(all axles) onthe
scale and take a reading. This is the Gross
Vehicle Weight (Reading 2).
3. Centerthe rear axle (orboth rear axles ifyour
motorhomeis equippedwith tagaxles) on the
platform and take a reading. This reading is
the rear Gross Axle Weight (Reading 3).
Comparethe readings taken on the scalestotheweight
ratings on the Federal certification tag and wardrobe
doortag. Fill in the chart
althe backofthis manual to aid
in comparing weights.
If any readings are higherthan the rating, you will have
to adjust or remove the load.

center of the buckle and slide the tongue out
of the buckle. Never use a belt for more than
one person at a time.
Child Restraint
All vehicle occupants, and especially children, should
be restrained whenever riding
in vehicles. Holding a
child in your arms is not a substitute for seat belts
or a
child restraint system. Child restraint systems are de-
signed to be secured in the vehicle seats by lap belts.
Children could be endangered
in a crash if their child
restraints are not properly secured
in the vehicle.
When using anychild restraintsystem,
be sure to read
and follow all instructions on installation and use that
come with the system.
When securing a child restraint with a lap belt that has
no retractor, pull the excess webbing through the ad-
justment mechanism.
If the child restraint is still not secure, use a different
seating pOSition in the vehicle and/or contact your
dealer and the child restraint manufacturer for help.
DRIVING AND PARKING
Once you become accustomed to the feel of the con-
trolsandthe referencepointsfrom the driver'sseat,you
will find driving a motor home comparable to driving
yourfamily car. Become familiarwith the position ofthe
motorhome in traffic, and becautious when maneuver-
ing to allow for the length and width of the vehicle.
Always allow room to corner and to change lanes.
Learn to usethe side and rearview mirrors to viewthe
road behind.

10
Rememberthat your motor home is heavierthan a car,
making it less maneuverable and harder to stop. Also,
because of it's greater side surface area, it is more
easilyaffected bycross winds. Allow extradistancesfor
passing and stopping, and drive at a moderate speed,
particularly
in traffic and in gusty wind conditions.
Driving on winding or mountain roads is not difficult if
done with reasonable care. Observe proper vehicle
speedswhen ascending
or descendinghillsandalways
operate
in the propertransmission range. Downshifton
hillsto avoid overheating
or undueengineloads.Down-
shift when descending grades. Engine braking power
will help control vehicle speed, and relieve some ofthe
strain on the brakes.
Mountain driving or desert temperatures can put ex-
treme demands on chassis components. Under ex-
treme use conditions you may need to turn off the
vehicle airconditionerto improve engine and transmis-
sion cooling.
Be aware ofthe extraheightofyourmotorhome.Check
for low hanging tree branches
or other obstructions
whenever you drive
or park.Avoid lowoverhangs when
pulling in for service. Always check overhead clear-
ances of overpasses and bridges.This may be particu-
larlyimportantifyou drivewiththeoverheadvents open
or if the motor home is equipped with a roof air condi-
tioner, roof rack, CB or TV/radio antenna. Before leav-
ing on a trip, check your route. Some tunnels prohibit
motor homes with
LP gas systems.
When parking parallel to a curb, be sure to allow for
poles or obstructions as the front and rear portions of
the motorhome swing widerthan an automobile.When
parking on an incline, turn thefrontwheel into the curb
in the direction ofthe roll toaidthe parking brake.When
parking, always shift the transmission to PARK ("P")
and set the parking brake, if applicable.
WARNING
DO NOT PARK OR IDLETHE MOTOR HOME
OVER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS SUCH
ASTALLGRASS
OR DRIED LEAVES.THIS IS
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF THE EX-
HAUST SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN PROP-
ERLY MAINTAINED. COMBUSTIBLE MATE-
RIALS
MAY CATCH FIRE FROM HOT EX-
HAUST GASES, SOOT OR SPARKS THAT
COULD ESCAPE THROUGH CORROSION
HOLES
OR CRACKS.
If operating, parking
or idling your vehicle off-road is
unavoidable:
Be aware that combustible materials could catch
fire from the vehicle's hot exhaust system.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Avoid driving your vehicle through
or over com-
bustiblematerialssuchas leaves, grass, vege-
tation or stubble high enough to touch, catch
or collect on its hot exhaust system.
Parking or idling should be done only in an area
where there are no combustible materials
under tl\e vehicle.
FUEL AND FUEL SYSTEMS

Information Packageforfuel and maintenancerecom-
mendations.
Fuel Fill
The fuel filler cap is located toward the rear of the
coach. Modern fuel systems may build up vapor pres-
sure within the tankas the gasoline warms during use
or hot weather. Under certain conditions, sudden re-
lease ofthis pressure when removing the gasoline cap
can cause gasoline to spray from the fill opening,
creating a fire hazard.
WARNING
WHEN REMOVING THE GASOLINE CAP,
ROTATE SLOWLY ONLY FAR ENOUGH TO
ALLOW PRESSURE TO RELEASE. AFTER
"HISSING"SOUNDSTOPS,COMPLETETHE
REMOVAL OFTHE CAP.
To protectthegasolinesystemfrom excessivepressure
orvacuum,
or from suddenrelease ofpressure, replace
lost or damaged caps with caps of the same design
which are available from your Fleetwood motor home
dealer.
Clean upfuel spills immediately. Rawfuel spilled on the
motor home could damage the exterior finish, and
is a
serious fire hazard.
FuelTypes and Vapor Lock
Your motor home's automotive fuel and emissions
systems are sophisticated and highly engineered to
meet Federal and State emissions standards.They are
sometimes sensitive to fuel types and blends, particu-
larly fuels blended for certain altitudes and climates.
Fuel suppliers provide customers with the correct fuel
for their location and seasonal conditions. Sometimes,

Carbon Monoxide Detector
Your motor home is equipped with a carbon monoxide
(CO) detector. It is Usuallylocated in the main sleeping
area.
If the indicator sounds, it is an indication that carbon
monoxide gas is present.This mayoccurwhileidling in
hightrafficconcentrations where othervehicles as well
as your motor home are contributing to the carbon
monoxide level in the surrounding air. Sounding
of the
alarm does not indicate a faulty alarm.The detector is
doing its job of warning you
of potentially high concen-
trations of carbon monoxide. See the section on Car-
bon Monoxide in this manual.
Test the CO detectorafterthe motorhome has been in
storage, before each trip, and
at least once a week
during use. Replace the sensor and battery when
necessary.Do not replace the batterywithoutreplacing
the sensor. Sensors are available through your
Fleetwood dealer.Please referto the operating instruc-
tions included in your Owner's Information Package.
EMERGENCYTOWING
Consultyourchassis operator's manual forinformation
on safe and approved towing procedures. Most tow
truckoperatorswilling and able totow motorhomeswill
be familiar with these procedures. Be prepared to give
thetow truckoperatorat leastthefollowing information
when you call:
Length and height
of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear.
Towing
from the rear will cause serious
overloading of the front tires and suspen-
sion, possibly resulting In tire or front sus-
pension failure. The rear frame extensions
are not designed to withstand the loads
imposed by lifting from the rear.
Thevehicle must be towed from the front, eitheron the
rearwheels (if operational)
or on a heavyduty dolly, or
transported on a flat bed trailer. Consult your Chassis
Owner's Manual.
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts
of the
disabled vehicle.
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
3. Turn off LP gas appliances and the LP gas
tank valve.
4. Do not allow any person to ride in the towed
vehicle.
ATTACHING ACCESSORIESTO
YOUR MOTOR HOME
The walls in your motor home are constructed with
Vacu-bond® lamination technology. Structural mem-
bersarelocatedspecificallytomountandattach factory
installed components and accessories, andmay
not be
locatedto supportafter-marketaccessoriesnotspecifi-
cally designed for use on or in your motor home.
Please consult with your dealer before attempting to
install
or mount accessories on the sidewalls of your
motor home. Holes drilled in the sidewall may cause
damage, and may affect portions
of your warranty
coverage.
ENGINETEMPERATURE GAUGES
Engine temperature gauges have been calibrated to
indicate a midrange reading as the "normal" operating
temperature. The reason for this is that many owners
perceive 212°Fasthe boiling point.However, this isnot
thecasein an enginewithapressurizedcoolingsystem
and a coolant mixture of glycol and water. As a motor
home owner, be aware that the gauge is intended to
providea warning
of anyrapid changeinenginecoolant
temperature from the "normal" reading of the gauge
rather than an absolute temperature reading.

though, fuel blended for winter is supplied during sum-
mer months.
'Vapor lock" occurs when gasoline vaporizes, and va-
por pockets block the flow of liquid fuel to the engine. If
you experience engine stall or stutter, you may be
experiencing vapor lock. Ifyourengine and fuel system
are properly tuned and maintained, you should not
experience this problem. If vapor lock occurs, the fuel
itselfcould bethe cause. Ifatall possible,checkwith the
service stationoperatorasto the fuel blend before filling
yourfuel tank. Ifyou purchase yourfuel from nationally
recognizedfuel dealers, yourchances ofvaporlockcan
be reduced. If you store your motor home during the
wintermonths, be awarethatwhenyou take the vehicle
out ofstorage in the spring or summer, winterfuel may
cause vapor lock until it is consumed.
GENERAL CHASSISTOPICS
Variable Speed Engine Fan
When the engine is under load or requires maximum
cooling, the enginefan adjusts and turns faster.The fan
may become verynoisy athigh speed and when maxi-
mum cooling is required. High speed fan noise can
sometimesbemisinterpretedastransmission slippage.
This is not the case. High engine speed and tempera-
ture conditions, such as pulling away from a stop after
long freeway driving, can cause loud fan noise until the
engine cools down.This fan noise indicatesthat the fan
is doing what it is supposed
to do. This noise is not a
defect in the fan
or the transmission.
Exhaust System Heat
Yourmotorhome engine has been designedtoconform
to Federal and State emission requirements.
To meet
these requirements, engine operating temperatures
are high. As a result, the engine and exhaust system
radiate a great deal of heat
Special heat shields are built into your motor home to
protectwiring and othercomponentsfrom possible heat
damagecaused
by the exhaust system. Do notremove
these shields, modify the exhaust system, or add addi-
tional equipment, such as wiring, plumbing, or other
components, which will
be affected by exhaust system
heat.
CARBON MONOXIDE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless
gas. It is a by-product of combustion
in engines. The
engines in your motor home and generator system
11
produce itconstanlly while they are running. CARBON
MONOXIDE IS
DEADLY. Please read and understand
the following precautionsto protect yourselfand others
from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
EXHAUST GASES ARE DEADLY. DO NOT
BLOCK THE TAILPIPES OR SITUATE THE
VEHICLEINA PLACEWHERETHEEXHAUST
GASES HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY.OF ACCU-
MULATING EITHER OUTSIDE, UNDER-
NEATH,OR INSIDEYOUR VEHICLE OR ANY
NEARBY VEHICLES. OUTSIDE AIR MOVE-
MENTS CAN CARRY EXHAUST GASES IN-
SIDE THE VEHICLE THROUGH WINDOWS
OR OTHER OPENINGS REMOTE FROMTHE
EXHAUST OUTLET. OPERATE THE
ENGINE(S)ONLYWHEN SAFE DISPERSION
OF EXHAUST GASES CAN BE ASSURED,
AND MONITOR OUTSIDE CONDITIONS TO
BE SURE THAT EXHAUST CONTINUES TO
BE DISPERSED SAFELY.
Beware of exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) poisoning
symptoms:
Dizziness
Vomiting

MuscularTwitching
Intense Headache
Throbbing in Temples
Weakness and Sleepiness
Inabilityto Think Coherently
Ifyou or othersexperience any ofthese symptoms, get
out into the fresh air immediately. Ifsymptoms persist,
seek medical attention. Shut down the unit and do not
operate until it has been inspected and repaired.
WARNING
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
OPERATE ANY ENGINE WHILE SLEEPING.
You would not be able to monitor outside conditions to
assure thatengine exhaust does not enterthe interior,
and you would not be alert to exhaust odors or symp-
toms of carbon monoxide pOisoning.
Do not operate an engine with a damaged exhaust
system. Check the system frequently for damage. Do
not under any Circumstances modify the exhaust
systems(s) in any
way.
