BEFORE YOU TRAVEL...
WEIGHTS AND CARGO CAPACITY
The safety of your travel will be affected by your understanding of weights and cargo
distribution for your trailer. Read, understand and follow all information related to the
weight of your trailer. We provide the following labels on your trailer (copies are printed
here):
• The “Federal Certification” label
(Fig. 1) is affixed to the roadside front
corner of your trailer. It lists the
vehicle weights as well as the tire and
axle rating information.
• The “Trailer Weight Information”
label (Fig. 2) is typically located
inside a lower cabinet close to the
entrance door. This label is critical in
understanding trailer weight
definitions. Please read, understand
and follow all of these definitions. In
addition to the label information, the
GAWR is the maximum weight rating
that components of each axle are
designed to support (i.e. tires, brakes,
springs, axle). Information that seems
unclear should be discussed with your
independent, authorized dealer.
The weights of your unit are the model’s
dry weights with standard equipment. It is
critical that you do not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of your
trailer. As you begin to load your
personal cargo, remember that what you
load as well as options that have been
added will affect the overall weight.
Never exceed the gross vehicle weight
rating of your unit.
