within a safe range. Total all axle weights and make sure you are below the
GVWR. If you are not overloaded make sure your load is balanced. Do not
load too much on one side. A balanced load is much easier to tow or drive.
Also, front to back balance is also important. Step back and look at your
recreational vehicle. Make sure that there is not too much weight on the hitch
or on the rear of the RV. Be sure to secure all items. Loose items can cause
damage and be a safety issue if not properly secured.
The Cargo Carrying capacity tag shown below is installed on every trailer and
can be found on the inside of the screen door on your vehicle.
Airstream weighs the vehicle as finished to arrive at the Vehicle Weight.
That number is subtracted from the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
of the trailer and listed under THE WEIGHT OF CARGO SHOULD NEVER
EXCEED on the tag. The total weight of any and all cargo, including dealer
modifications or additions, water, and propane should never exceed the
number listed.
When loading the vehicle it is important to keep the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating, Gross Axle Weight Ratings, Tire Weight Ratings (listed on the vehicle
Tire Information Placard), and Cargo in mind. These ratings should never be
exceeded. Your safety depends on not overloading the trailer, its axles, and its
tires. See the specification section for rating list.
When loading heavy objects such as tools, skillets, irons, and boxes of
canned goods, etc. keep them as low as possible - preferably on the floor. Try
to hold additional weight behind the axle to a minimum.
Warning
: Never add items such as generators, heavy
toolboxes or motorcycle racks to the back of the trailer. Weight behind the
axle will tend to magnify any sway that may occur when passing trucks or
in gusty wind. If a heavy generator is mounted on the rear bumper what
may have been an almost unnoticeable sway turns into a severe sway you
may not be able to control.
NOTICE: Damage to your trailer caused by mounting heavy objects on the
rear is considered abuse, and is not covered by warranty.
