THESE ITEMS MUST BE SUBTRACTED FROM THE 
TOTAL OF THE CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY. 
 
Notice:  If your RV is equipped with holding 
tanks, empty the holding tanks before filling 
fresh water tank otherwise you will limit cargo 
capacity. 
 

LOADING TIPS 
 

After you have determined how much weight 
you can safely carry and selected those items to 
make up that weight, make a list and keep it for 
future reference.  Load the RV and distribute 
the load so that you get proper weight on the 
axle(s).  Do not load upper cabinets with heavy 

items.  Secure and brace items so they won’t 

move during travel, thereby shifting the load in 
the RV.  Do not load heavy items near either 
end of the RV.  Adjust cargo storage to keep the 
side to side wheel loads as equal as possible.  If 
your RV has holding tanks, carry only as much 
water as needed for travel use or to balance the 
load.  Always empty your waste water and 
sewage holding tanks before traveling. 
 
WARNING:  DO NOT INSTALL ANY TYPE OF 
WEIGHT CARRYING RACK OR FRAME TO THE RV. 
DAMAGE TO THE RV AND UNSTABLE HANDLING 
CHARACTERISTICS MAY RESULT. 
 
WARNING:  EXCEEDING THE GAWR, GVWR OR 
GCWR OF YOUR RV CAN CAUSE UNDESIREABLE 
HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS AND MAHY 
CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD.  MODIFICATION OF 
YOUR VEHICLE BY ADDITION OF RACKS NOT 
SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO CARRY 
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLE IS NOT 
RECOMMENDED, MAY CREATE A SAFETY 
HAZARD AND MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY. 
 
Make a loading diagram of your properly loaded 
RV.  It will help you locate where specific items 
are stored, and will help speed the loading 
process.  Store emergency items in a readily 
accessible location.  Include tools, first-aid kit, 
rain gear, flashlight, highway warning devices 
and an electric cord or light. 

The difference between the empty weight and 
the weight of the RV in traveling configuration is 
your usable load.  If the loaded weight of your 
RV exceeds the GVWR or the weight on any axle 
exceeds that axle's GAWR, the RV is overloaded 

and you’ll have to remove items to bring the 

weight down to or below the GVWR and GAWR. 
 
All items must be considered for their weight 
and stored according to how heavy they are.  
Heavy items should be placed close to the floor 
and in the center of the vehicle.  Luggage and 
similar cargo carried inside the RV must be 
secure to prevent possible damage in the case 
of a sudden stop or an accident.
