CHAPTER 3
OPERATING AND
USING YOUR MINI-MOTORHOME
Your mini-motorhome has been designed and built to give you maximum comfort in a
camping or recreational setting. Operating your motorhome may be a new experience
for you. Use extra caution in turning corners, climbing hills, stopping and other traffic
conditions until you become familiar and comfortable with its operation and handling.
WEIGHTS AND CARGO CAPACITY
Under the present standards it is very important to provide an owner of a mini-
motorhome with the most accurate weight information available for safety reasons.
Located on the post of the driver's door is a “Federal Certification” label supplying a
portion of this information.
Inside the mini-motorhome, on the back of a cabinet door inside the kitchen base
cupboard, is a form as shown on the next page giving you the weights of your mini-
motorhome as required.
There are weight terms an owner needs to be aware of, understand and realize the
importance when operating a mini-motorhome. These terms are described on the next
page on the motorhome weight information sheet.
Another important weight term to be aware of is the GAWR, meaning the “Gross Axle
Weight Rating.” This equals the maximum weight which may be placed on an axle
assembly. The listed weight of this rating is the weakest link of the axle assembly
including tires, axle, springs, wheels or brakes.
In addition, the GVWR equals the maximum weight that should be on your chassis at any
given time when traveling or camping.
CAUTION:
We recommend weighing your mini-motorhome when it’s completely
loaded. Follow the GVWR guidelines. DO NOT exceed the GVWR. Refer to the
weighing instructions on the following pages
