In all Toy Hauler rear area units, you may place 40% of (CCC) carrying
cargo capacity in cargo area, and then distribute remaining pounds. Place
2 pounds in front of axle to every 1 pound behind axle. Some of this
weight will be on top of axles.
Below is a blank space for you to calculate the “Cargo Carry Capacity “of
your unit, based on this 40% formula. You will find the weights of your
unit on a sticker, placed on the edge of the screen door. This will enable
you to determine your “CCC” in the different areas of your unit.
When loading heavy cargo/contents into the storage area, you MUST
have the stabilizer jacks in down position for any vehicle movement for
support.
Any cargo in the rear area MUST BE secured behind axles during
movement of unit. For this reason, D-Rings are installed on the floor of
the cargo room. Any two wheeled items, such as bicycles or motorcycles,
will require additional support for the front wheel, such as a “wheel chock”.
Any such stabilizer item, such as a wheel chock, should be installed per
manufacture
r’s instructions.
Larger coaches may have a wall built between the cargo area and camper
area with a door. Cargo area with a wall will be sealed to prevent fuel
vapors from entering camper area.
Secure cargo and vehicles as far forward as possible. Excess
weight in the rear of this trailer can result in loss of stability
when towing. Consult the trailer Owner’s Manual for loading
and weighing procedures. Keep the loaded tongue weight
between 10% and 15% of total weight for travel trailers, and
between 20% and 25% of total weight for 5
th
wheels.
Move cargo and/or vehicles to maintain proper balance. Do
not exceed GVWR (total weight rating) or GAWR (axle weight
ratings) of the trailer or tow vehicles.
The tie downs (D-Rings) provided are for general purpose use
(rating 1500 pounds each). The transport of certain types of
cargo (motorcycles, bikes, etc.), may require additional
accessories for secure transport. Please refer to owner’s
manual or contact the manufacturers of these specific items
for more information.
