ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
TIRE AND SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED
VEHICLE LOAD LIMITS
Determining the load limits of a motorhome includes more than understanding the load limits
of the tires alone. On a motorhome, there is a federal certification label that is affixed in the
rear closet.
The certification label will indicate the motorhomes gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). This
is the most weight the fully loaded vehicle can weigh. It will also provide the gross axle weight
rating (GAWR).
CARGO CAPACITIES
For motorhomes, cargo can be added to the vehicle, up to the maximum weight specified on
the placard. For motorized vehicles, the combined weight of passengers and cargo is provided
as a single number. If fewer people are traveling, more cargo can be added.
If more people are involved, the weight of cargo must be reduced. In any case, remember:
the
total weight of a fully loaded vehicle, including passengers is not recommended to exceed
the (GVWR).
For motorhomes, water and propane (LP) gas also need to be considered. The weight of the
fully filled propane (LP) gas container is considered part of the weight of the motorhome
before it is loaded with people or cargo and is not considered part of the disposable cargo load.
