Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Cargo Ramp Door Capacity
The cargo ramp has a maximum weight capacity of 2500 lbs. (1133Kg) (with load evenly
distributed) and 1000 lbs. (453 Kg) per wheel contact in the vehicle-loading mode (cargo
bay capacity may be different). Do not exceed this maximum weight rating at any time.
The cargo ramp door is spring assisted to aid in opening and closing the ramp door.
The ramp is designed for consumer ATV and normal road clearance motorcycles.
When cargo ramp door is used in a patio configuration, the maximum weight capacity
is 1800 lbs. (816 Kg). (Maximum of 10 people).
The cables used to hold the ramp door in the patio configura -
tion MUST be removed from the door when not in use. The
cables are stored in a toolbox, which is inside the garage
area recessed into the floor. If the cables are not removed
when the door is closed, they will interfere with the door
latch mechanism preventing the door from closing and pos-
sibly damaging the mechanism
Remove the top end of each cable by releasing the quick links
(A) holding it to the doorframe. Unscrew each quick link
and remove the cable and the quick link together from
the top of the door on each side. DO NOT LEAVE
THE QUICK LINK ON THE DOOR FRAME.
To release each cable at the side of the ramp door,
unclip the safety pins (B) and slide the pin out of the
door bracket. DO NOT PUT THE SAFETY PIN
BACK IN THE DOOR BRACKET. Store the safety
pins, quick links and the cables in the recessed tool-
box in the garage floor. (Refer to the
Rear Patio Party
Deck section)
Loading the Cargo Area
To assure safe towing and travel, it is important the proper attention be given to loading the
cargo area. Caution should be taken not to exceed the weight capacity of the cargo ramp,
cargo area and the GVWR of the RV. It is also important to make sure you comply with all
towing requirements of your tow vehicle. Refer to the tow vehicle’s owner’s manual for
towing requirements. (Refer to Cargo Ramp Door Capacity section).
