Section 4: Vehicle Operation
2. Load all vehicles/equipment evenly from side to side in the cargo bay.
3. Secure all vehicles/items to prevent load shifts during transit.
4. After loading, weigh the trailer at the hitch, each axle, and each wheel. Observe all
trailer gross, axle, and tire ratings.
5. If the weight of the loaded trailer exceeds any of the ratings as listed on the certification
label located on the front lower left outside wall, remove or re-distribute the cargo load
until the weight(s) are less than the maximum ratings.
Make sure all vehicles/items in the cargo area have been secured with the proper tie
down straps and the cargo door is locked prior to transit.
Air Vents
Typically (2) air vents are located in either side of the cargo bay and are designed for airflow
and ventilation when there is fuel powered equipment in the cargo bay. The vents must
remain open any time equipment is loaded in the cargo bay, including during travel.
To open the vent(s), firmly grasp the vertical bar in the middle of the vent, and push or pull it
to the left or right until it clears the notch in the pivot base as shown below and the vent will
open. To close it, pull the handle until it returns to the center of the pivot base.
NOTE: Both vents should be open to prevent gas fumes from building up
in the recreation vehicle. The upper vent should be positioned to draw air
into the unit, and the lower to direct the air out when the unit is in motion.
Patio Deck - Rear (if so equipped)
Caution should be taken not to exceed the maximum patio weight capacity and to maintain
even weight distribution.
Maximum capacity is 10 people 1500 lbs. (680 Kg) and an evenly distrib-
uted load
when in the patio position. Failure to observe the weight limit or
use other than intended may result in property damage or serious personal
injury.
Stabilizers or leveling jacks
MUST be used when the patio is deployed and
in use.
