PREPARING FOR THE ROAD
YOUR MOTORHOME (Weights
explained)
Mass in Running Order (MRO)
The weight of your motorhome as it leaves
the factory, as new with standard fixtures and
fittings, plus an allowance for driver and 90%
fuel.
Maximum Technically Permissible Laden
Mass (MTPLM)
The maximum weight of the vehicle when
fully laden for use on the road. See
specification section for actual figure.
User Payload
The load margin (payload), this represents
the difference between the Mass in Running
Order (MRO) and the Maximum Technically
Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM). It shows
the maximum weight which can be loaded
into your motorhome, covering items such as
food, crockery, cutlery, clothing, bedding, gas
cylinders, etc. See Technical Specification for
actual figure.
Please take care to ensure that you have
allowed for the masses of all items you intend
to carry in the motorhome, e.g.. passengers,
optional equipment, essential habitation
equipment and personal effects such as
clothing, food, pets, bicycles etc.
Although there are additional seat belts within
the motorhome, please refer to the stated
number of passengers that are allowed due
to the MRO and MTPLM.
LOADING AND DISTRIBUTION OF
WEIGHT IN THE MOTORHOME
Loading
Correct weight distribution is a major factor in
making your motorhome a balanced and
pleasant vehicle to drive without
compromising road-holding. Care should
therefore be taken to ensure that heavy items
are well spaced and are in as low a position
as possible, for example, low cupboards and
bed boxes.
DO NOT EXCEED THE STATED MAXIMUM
LOAD. ITEMS FITTED OTHER THAN
STANDARD EQUIPMENT WILL DEPLETE
THE PAYLOAD STATED IN THIS
HANDBOOK.
WARNING: Under no circumstances
should the maximum permissible laden
mass of the motorhome be exceeded.
Roof Loading
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO CLIMB
ONTO THE ROOF.
Roof Rack Bars and Ladder (optional)
When using the optional roof rack, care
should be taken to see that all the items are
securely anchored. Apart from general
cleaning and polishing, the roof rack and
ladder require no special maintenance.
WARNING: Take special care when on the
roof in wet or frosty weather conditions,
which cause it to be particularly slippery.
