Weight and Loading Considerations
Touring coach’s have fluid holding tanks and ample
storage. It gives you great flexibility in loading. If you
want to load down all the storage compartments, the
amount of fluids may have to be reduced. Distribute
your additional cargo as evenly as possible with the
heaviest objects located as low as possible�
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 lbs� of cargo�
