SECTION 4
TRAVELING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME
The load on each wheel or dual-wheel set
should not exceed one-half of the corresponding
GAWR. For example, if the GAWR for the rear
axle is 12,000 lbs., then the load on each rear
dual set (left rear duals or right rear duals)
should not exceed 6,000 lbs.
Tires should be filled to the recommended
air pressure for the highest loaded tire set on that
axle. For example, on the rear axle, if the left
side weighs more than the right, fill the left tires
to the pressure required for that weight, then fill
the right tires to the same pressure as the left
ones.
NOTE: The Hitch Load from a Towed Vehicle or
carrier box must also be counted on the
Rear GAWR and subtracted from the
rear axle cargo capacity.
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 Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC).
To calculate the CCC, Winnebago uses vehi-
cle sleeping capacity, however your coach may
be equipped with more belted seating positions
than sleeping positions to give passengers a
choice of
seating arrangements. You may use all
of the belted seating positions providing you
stay within your vehicle’s GVWR listed on the
Vehicle Certification Label (see Introduction
Section). However you use or load your vehicle,
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
Workhorse Chassis
Hitch pulling cap:
5,000 lbs.
Tongue weight:
500 lbs. max.
The factory installed towing hitch on this
coach is rated to pull a 5,000 lb. load (max.),
with a vertical (tongue) weight of 500 lbs. Do
not exceed either the GVWR, the rear axle
GAWR, or the chassis GCWR.
See preceding
items “Loading the Vehicle” and “Weighing
Your Loaded Vehicle” for explanation of weight
ratings.
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” in Introduction Section for infor-
BELTED SEATING POSITIONS MAY
EXCEED SLEEPING CAPACITY OF
THIS VEHICLE. SEE OWNER
