LOADING CARGO
Packing camping gear in your folding camping trailer requires serious consideration. All
cargo should be distributed evenly with the heaviest items stored in the lower cabinets.
Heavy items must be secured to prevent weight shifts while traveling. Additional weight
behind the axle should be kept to a minimum.
Observe capacity rating to avoid problems.
WARNING:
The rear bumper on the folding camping trailer is not de-
signed to carry additional weight. Never add items such as generators,
motorcycle racks, heavy tool boxes, etc. to the back of your folding camping
trailer. Channel bumpers can twist, flex, and develop metal fatigue and weld
stress. Weight behind the axle lightens the hitch weight and will magnify
any sway that occurs when passing trucks or driving in gusty winds. Excess
weight may cause a severe sway that you may not be able to control. Damage
to your property can occur and also endanger vehicles following your camper
during travel and could possibly cause an accident.
CAUTION:
Damage from add-on equipment or improper loading is not covered
by your Jayco Limited Warranty.
Your Jayco folding camping trailer roof has a weight limit of 350 pounds (160
kilograms) in the travel mode
.
The maximum weight that can be lifted is 250 pounds
(115 kilograms). To assist in calculating the weight of options available, we provide the
following guide.
NOTE:
Weights of canopies, bike or boat racks, are based on Jayco provided brands,

WARNING:
Never attempt to raise the camping trailer roof with remov-
able cargo still in place. The maximum weight that can be lifted is 250
pounds (115 kilograms). The 250 pounds (115 kilograms) includes all at-
tached options such as: bike rack, canopy, air conditioning and boat rack.
Never mount a storage pod directly to the roof
. It is necessary to provide a rack
system which secures to the outer edges of the roof to support and evenly distribute the
weight of the storage pod. Consult your dealer for proper installation.
Never walk on the roof
.
The roof of a folding camping trailer is not designed to
accommodate the weight, scratches, dents and punctures that can occur from walking on
the roof.
