Weight Distribution
Touring coach’s have fresh water and gray water
tanks and storage areas. It gives you great flexibility in
loading. With flexibility comes responsibility. If you want
to load down all the storage compartments, the amount
of fluids may have to be reduced. It’s a trade off so
plan wisely� Distribute your additional cargo as evenly
as possible with the heaviest objects located as low as
possible�
Do you really want to carry a full fresh water tank to
a RV park 1,000 miles away and then hook up to a
city water supply? Even if you’re going to a remote
area, you can usually fill your water tank shortly before
entering the area� Just reducing your load by 10
gallons of water lets you carry an additional 83�4 lb of
cargo�
