motorhomes braking system is rated for operation at the total
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of the motorhome.
For your safety, Damon Corporation recommends that a separate
functional braking system be used on any towed trailer or vehicle,
including those dolly towed or towbar towed.
If you plan to tow a vehicle or trailer with your motorhome, the tongue weight must not
exceed the maximum allowed hitch weight. The Gross Combined Vehicle Weight must
not exceed the GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) of your chassis. To determine
how much weight your motorhome can tow, have your vehicle weighed when it is properly
loaded, as you would have it when you are ready to depart for your trip. Subtract this
total weight from the GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) weight on your Federal
Weight Label. This difference is the total amount that you may safely tow behind your
motorhome.
This Combined Vehicle Weight cannot exceed your Motorhomes
specific GCWR.
Example: If you have a GVWR of 24,000 lbs., and your unit weighs 19,535 lbs.:
GVWR=
24,000 lbs.
Subtract Unit weight= 19,535 lbs.
4,465 lbs.
Total of 4,465 lbs available for cargo in the motorhome providing you DO NOT overload
the individual GAWR’s.
Example: If you have a GCWR of 30,000 lbs., and your unit is fully loaded to its maximum
GVWR of 24,000 lbs.:
GCWR=
30,000 lbs.
GVWR=
24,000 lbs.
6,000 lbs.
Total of 6,000 lbs available to tow a vehicle or trailer behind the motorhome. This will be
the MAXIMUM weight your unit is certified by the chassis manufacturer to safely pull.
DO NOT exceed the ratings of the label on the hitch or the GCWR of the chassis.
