PREPARING FOR THE ROAD
YOUR MOTORHOME (Weights explained)
Mass in Running Order (MRO)
The weight of your Motorhome as it leaves
the factory, as new with standard fixtures and
fittings, plus an allowance for driver and 90%
fuel.
Maximum Technically Permissible Laden
Mass (MTPLM)
The maximum weight of the vehicle when
fully laden for use on the road. See
specification section for actual figure.
User Payload
The load margin (payload), this represents
the difference between the Mass in Running
Order (MRO) and the Maximum Technically
Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM). It shows
the maximum weight which can be loaded
into your Motorhome, covering items such as
food, crockery, cutlery, clothing, bedding, gas
cylinders, etc. See Technical Specification for
the actual figure.
Please take care to ensure that you have
allowed for the masses of all items you
intend to carry in the Motorhome, e.g.
passengers, optional equipment, essential
habitation equipment and personal effects
such as clothing, food, pets, bicycles etc.
.
LOADING AND DISTRIBUTION OF
WEIGHT IN THE MOTORHOME
Loading
Correct weight distribution is a major factor in
making your Motorhome a balanced and
pleasant vehicle to drive without compromising
road-holding. Care should therefore be taken to
ensure that heavy items are well spaced and
are in as low a position as possible, for
example, low cupboards and bed boxes.
DO NOT EXCEED THE STATED MAXIMUM
LOAD. ITEMS FITTED OTHER THAN
STANDARD EQUIPMENT WILL DEPLETE THE
PAYLOAD STATED IN THIS HANDBOOK.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should
the maximum permissible laden mass of the
Motorhome be exceeded.
SENSIBLE LOADING
HOW TO APPORTION WEIGHT
Before Moving Off
Whenever making a journey with your
Motorhome, either setting off on holiday or
returning home, it is good practice to run
through this simple checklist.
1.
Close and secure all cupboards and
drawers and check any loose articles.
2.
Make sure heavy articles are stored in
accordance with the loading procedure. Do
not store tins, bottles or heavy items in the
roof.
3.
The main table should be stored in its
transit position.
4.
Leave all blinds open and remove all cab
screens to aid visibility.
5.
Check that gas cylinders are correctly
positioned, securely fastened and turned
off.
6.
Check that all gas-operated appliances
have been isolated, including the hob and
oven.
7.
Ensure there is sufficient gas to meet your
needs.
8.
Check the fridge is on 12V operation and
the door is locked. (Note: the electrical
relays will allow the fridge to be run on the
vehicle battery when the engine is running).
9.
Switch off 230 volt supply at source,
disconnect mains cable from vehicle.
Beware of potential electric shock from wet
cable. Coil cable and store in a safe place.
