Maximum Loading Of Your Vehicle
The weights of your vehicle are stated in the back of
this handbook and on the secondary weight plate
located in the engine bay of your vehicle.
The secondary weight plate gives the following
information.
The serial number of your vehicle which should
be quoted in any correspondence with your
supplying dealer.
• The maximum authorised weight of your vehicle
which must never be exceeded when the vehicle
is loaded and in use.
• The gross train weight of your vehicle.
This is the maximum combined weight of the
actual Motorhome fully loaded to its maximum
authorised weight, plus the allowance for a trailer.
The weight of the loaded Motorhome and trailer
must never exceed the gross train weight quoted
on the weight plate.
• ‘1’ is the maximum authorised weight for the
individual front axle.
• ‘2’ is the maximum authorised weight for the
individual rear axle.
• ‘3’ is the maximum authorised weight of the
individual third axle (only used on twin rear
axle models).
Please note that if you add both maximum
authorised axle weights together it will normally
give you a larger figure than the maximum
authorised weight – please be aware that
the Maximum Authorised Weight must
never be exceeded.
Please take care to ensure that you have allowed
for the masses of all items you intend to carry in
the Motorhome. e.g. passengers, optional
equipment, essential habitation equipment and
personal effects such as clothing, food, pets,
bicycles, sailboards, sports equipment, etc.
