Jayco Qwest, Owner'S Manual, Page: 26 / 86

Weight distribution is very important. Improper distribution, as well as overload-
ing the camping trailer can cause poor handling and sway during towing. Heavier
items should always be packed over or in front of the axles. Personal cargo should
be evenly distributed throughout the camping trailer. When installing a bike rack
it should be centered over or in front of the camping trailer axles.
CAUTION: NEVER attempt to raise the camping trailer by placing a jack under
the axle. Lifting the trailer by this method may alter the camber in the axle causing
permanent damage.
