If you are not sure whether or not you have overloaded the
vehicle, you should have it weighed at a public weighing
facility.
The maximum axle loads as well as the technically per-
missible overall mass entered in the vehicle‘s documents
may not be exceeded
Overloading can cause the tyres to break down or even
burst! This increases the danger that you may lose control
of the vehicle. Therefore, you endanger yourself and other
road users.
• The maximum permissible load for the rear external sto
-
rage locker is 150 kg.
• On no account should the permissible rear axle load be
exceeded.
• Due to load removal on the front axle, it is considerably
more difficult to handle the vehicle when the rear garage
is fully loaded.
• Always check that the lashing rings are firmly locked be
-
fore you start your drive.
• The owner/driver of the vehicle is always responsible for
ensuring that loads transported in the external storage
locker have been correctly secured. As far as possible,
always use tension belt systems licensed for this pur-
pose.
• Never use rubber expanders. Remember that exceptio
-
nally strong driving dynamics can occur in dangerous
situations or when you are forced to slam on the brakes.
Roof load
(50 kg maximum)
The height of the motor home may vary from one journey to the
next due to different roof loads.
The following applies for roof loads:
• Add the measurement of the roof load to the height of the
motor home.
• Place a not visibly in the driver's cab giving the overall height.
This saves having to calculate the height when driving under
bridges and through tunnels.
Rear garage
(model-specific)
When loading the rear garage adhere to the permissible axle
loads and the technically permissible total mass. Distribute pay-
load evenly. Excess point loads will damage the floor covering.
All of the equipment carried in the external storage locker must be
securely fastened using lashing eyes and suitable retaining straps.
