2. With the recreation vehicle still attached to the tow vehicle, each wheel position
should then be weighed separately to be sure each tire is not overloaded.
To determine the wheel position weight:
• Pull the recreation vehicle onto the scale so that only one tire is on the scale.
Record the weight. Your trailer must remain as level as possible on the scale
(even though an axle or side is not physically on the scale). Obviously, to obtain
the side-to-side weights, there must be enough space on either side of the scale to
accommodate the recreation vehicle being partially off the scale.
• To calculate the opposite side of the vehicle wheel position weight, subtract the
first side’s weight from the weight determined in step #1.
If there is a difference in the weights on one side of the vehicle as compared to weights
on the other side, components (tires, wheels, brakes, springs, etc.) on the heavier side
could be overloaded, even though the total axle load is within the GVWR. It is important
to redistribute the load to avoid component failure, as well as to improve the handling
characteristics of the vehicle.
Tires
The tires on all Jayco travel trailers are designed and built for recreational use. Tires are
radial in design, having two steel cords and two polyester cords, offering excellent
strength and mileage in all kinds of weather, when used as designed. See brochure in
owner’s packet.
NOTE: Tires are warranted by the tire manufacturer and are to be serviced and warranted
by a service center. They are not to be returned to the dealer or travel trailer manufacturer.
