SECTION 4
TRAVELING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME
4-2
MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY
The following label is placed in a visible
location in the driver compartment.
The number of belted seating positions in
your motor home may exceed the number people
used to determine maximum coach occupancy,
called the Net Carrying Capacity (NCC) in the
U.S. or Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) in Can-
ada.
To calculate the NCC or CCC, Winnebago
uses vehicle sleeping capacity, however your
coach may be equipped with more belted seat-
ing positions than sleeping positions to give pas-
sengers a choice of
seating arrangements. You
may use all of the belted seating positions pro-
viding you stay within your vehicle’s GVWR
listed on the Vehicle Certification Label (see
page 0-3). However you use or load your vehi-
cle, it is your responsibility to keep the weight
within its stated gross vehicle weight rating.
ROOF LOADING
The roof is capable of carrying some light-
weight articles while the vehicle is in motion. A
roof-mounted luggage carrier designed for this
purpose is available from your dealer. However,
roof load while the vehicle is in motion is not to
exceed 10 pounds per square foot or a maximum
of 100 pounds.
When the vehicle is stationary, a cargo load of
100 pounds plus the weight of a 225 pound per-
son to load the cargo or to conduct inspection and
maintenance is permissible.
Weight added to both the roof and the trailer
hitch contribute to the gross vehicle weight,
which must not exceed the vehicle’s GVWR.
CAR OR TRAILER
TOWING
Chevy/Ford Chassis
Hitch pulling cap.:
5,000 lbs. max.
Tongue weight:
350 lbs. max.
Freightliner Chassis
Hitch pulling cap.:
5,000 lbs. max.
Tongue weight:
500 lbs. max.
The factory installed towing hitch on this
coach is capable of pulling a 5,000 lb. load
(max.), however the vertical (tongue) weight may
vary according to chassis and model combina-
tions. Also, your coach’s towing and hitch ball
(tongue) capacity may be reduced if the com-
bined loaded weight of the coach and the towed
vehicle exceeds the GCWR (Gross Combined
Weight Rating) of the chassis.
The combined weight of the coach and the
towed vehicle should not exceed the coach’s
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). Also,
the combined weight of the coach and the towed
vehicle’s hitch ball weight should not exceed the
coach’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
or its rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
listed on the Vehicle Certification.
Because of individual vehicle use and loading
habits, we recommend weighing the vehicle
while fully loaded to avoid exceeding any of the
listed Gross Weight Ratings. See “Vehicle Certi-
fication Label” on page 0-3 for information on
gross weight ratings.
Towing will affect vehicle handling, durabili-
ty and fuel economy. Exceeding any of the listed
Gross Weight Ratings will result in unacceptable
overall vehicle performance. Maximum safety
and satisfaction when towing depends on proper
use of correct equipment. A hitch bar of appropri-
ate steel and size should be selected to mate with
the Winnebago towing receptor.
Installation of a proper trailer brake system is
recommended. Check state regulations on trailer
weight and trailer brake requirements to be sure
you select the right equipment before towing.
BELTED SEATING POSITIONS MAY
EXCEED SLEEPING CAPACITY OF
THIS VEHICLE. SEE OWNER
MANUAL FOR OCCUPANCY AND
WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS.
