Section 3: Pre-travel information

See the

Weight Terms

and

Loading Your RV

sections for important information on how

towing a vehicle affects the motor home weight.

It is important to redistribute the load to avoid component failure as well as to
improve the handling characteristics of the vehicle.



Dump the gray and black water holding tanks before traveling to avoid

carrying unnecessary weight. Full tanks can affect your fuel consumption, and

depending on tank location, can affect your vehicle handling characteristics.

If you cannot immediately empty your holding tanks, reduce your vehicle
speed until you reach a dumping station.
