Sleeping Capacity Weight Rating (SCWR):
The manufacturer’s designated number of sleeping positions multiplied by
154 pounds (70 kilograms).
IMPORTANT
To assure the accuracy of your weights, make sure the unit is always level during weighing.
WEIGHING YOUR COACH
The unit has been built to comply with the component suppliers' recommended limits to provide you with a realistic CCC.
When loading the unit, distribute the items so that not all of the weight is added to one area of the unit.
If you have questions as to what the weight of the unit is
after it has been loaded, take the unit to a drive-on scale or
use individual wheel scales, and verify that the weights are
within the limits of those specified for the unit. When
weighing the unit, follow these instructions. Failure to follow
these instructions may give an erroneous weight reading.
To find the total weight of the unit, pull the unit onto the
scales so that all of the wheels are on the scale as shown.
Record the weight. This is the GVW and should not exceed
the GVWR supplied by Newmar for the unit.
To find the total weight of the coach, except for the front
axle, move the unit so that the front wheels are off the
scales as shown. Record the weight. This weight should not
exceed the total rating of the axles remaining on the scales.
The front axle weight is determined by subtracting this
weight from the GVW that was obtained in step one. This
amount should not exceed the listed front axle weight rating.
ALTERNATE WEIGHING PROCEDURE
The recommended procedure to accurately weigh a
motorhome is on individual corner scales. Since these are
not always available, this diagram shows how to weigh a
motorhome on a typical truck scale.
Since only one corner can be weighed at a time, the
remaining three corners need to be as close to the scale as
possible without being on the scale, and the unit needs to
be as level as possible. Remember, wind and rain can
cause inaccuracies of weights.
IMPORTANT
Your coach has been aligned at the factory as part of the production process. To provide optimum tire
longevity and offer the best handling characteristics, Newmar recommends you have your unit re-aligned after
loading your belongings. Though highly recommended, this alignment is not mandatory, and as such, is not
warrantable by Newmar or the chassis manufacturer.
