Loading Tips
• Do not load heavy items on the bumpers.
• Make a loading diagram of your properly
loaded motor home, and then weigh the
properly loaded motor home. The loading
diagram, your loading log and the loaded
motor home weight will help you locate
where specific items are stored, and will
help speed the loading process.
• Secure and brace items so they won’t
move during travel. Generally, load heav-
ier items lower.
• Fresh water and waste water weigh over
eight pounds per gallon. Carry only as
much water as needed for travel use or to
balance the load, and whenever practical,
empty the holding tanks before traveling.
• Store emergency items in a readily accessi-
ble location. As a minimum include a fire
extinguisher, tools, first aid kit, rain gear,
flashlight, highway warning devices, an
electric cord with light, and sturdy gloves.
TIRES
Your motor home is equipped with wheels and
tires selected to match the capacity specifications
of the chassis as designed by the chassis manufac-
turer. Under normal circumstances and with
proper tire and chassis maintenance, you should
receive thousands of miles of trouble-free service.
Some motor homes accumulate relatively few
miles and therefore the tire age from the date of
manufacture, not mileage, may become the main
tire life determining factor. Motor home tires
normally have a life of 5-7 years, depending on
mileage. However, Fleetwood RV recommends
periodic tire inspection by a reputable tire dealer
regardless of tread depth.
Tire Inflation
For safety and maximum tire life, vehicle speeds
must be proper, proper inflation pressure must
be maintained, and tread depth and wear must
be monitored. Properly inflated and maintained
tires also contribute to overall motor home sta-
bility and safety. Refer to the tire section in your
Chassis Operator’s/Owner’s Guide/Manual or
any tire manufacturer’s information that may be
provided in your Owners’ Information Package
for information on maintenance and tire care. If
no information is provided please contact your
local tire manufacturer’s location for advice.
The maximum cold inflation pressures are stated
on the tire sidewall. The recommended maxi-
mum tire inflation pressure your coach is shown
on the Federal Certification Tag located on the
sidewall near the driver’s seat. To maximize tire
performance, consult with the tire manufac-
turer’s guidelines or Chassis
Operator’s/Owner’s Guide/Manual for recom-
mended tire inflation pressure.
Tire Rotation
Your tires can be rotated for increased tire wear.
The front tires should only be rotated side-to-
side only and never "front to back". The rear
tires should only be rotated side-to-side on the
rear axle only and never front to back. Seek
professional help with tire rotation at an author-
ized dealership.

NOTE
When parking your motor home for an extended time,
in storage or camping, you can extend tire life by
parking each tire on a piece of plywood approxi-
mately 12 inches square.

originally equipped by the manufacturer to carry addi-
tional equipment, vehicles or cargo will reduce your
warranty coverage and may cause personal injury or
