Store and secure all loose items inside the RV before traveling. Overlooked items such as
canned goods, or small appliances on the countertop, cooking pans on the range or free-
standing furniture items can become dangerous projectiles during a sudden stop.
Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on each tire does not exceed one-half of the
GAWR for either axle. For traveling safety, it is important to make sure any tie down
straps (if so equipped) on appliances or furniture are secure.

If your RV is equipped with a front deck for hauling extra cargo, make sure that you stay
within all weight limits for the deck and the loading ramps. It is critical for proper handling
and trailer maintenance that you weigh your RV completely loaded before heading out on
your trip. Make sure to unload the front deck before unhitching your RV from the tow
vehicle.
WARNING
Never load the RV in excess of the GAWR for either axle. Overloading your RV may
result in adverse handling characteristics and damage to the chassis.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR!
This means you should weigh your RV as
loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight. If you exceed the
GVWR, you
MUST
remove items from the RV, or drain liquids, then re-weigh the
vehicle to ensure you have achieved a safe weight. Do not travel with full grey/black
holding tanks. This not only wastes gas but, depending upon the location of the grey or
black holding tanks, can affect handling characteristics.
WARNING
Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you
cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the vehicle. Do not exceed
your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle as evenly as you can for the best
possible handling. Ensure heavy items are secured so they do not shift during travel.
WARNING
Store items in areas designated for storage. Do not store anything in the areas reserved
for the converter, electrical panels or the furnace or water heater, etc.
WARNING
Do not exceed ramp capacities. Do not ride vehicle on ramps. Failure to follow
instructions may result in serious injury or property damage
