WARNING:
Improperly inflated or overloaded tires
can cause a blowout. An overloaded
axle can cause a component failure of
the suspension system. Tire blowout
or broken suspension components can
lead to loss of vehicle control, property
damage, personal injury or death.
The following charts are used to determine
tire inflation pressure and ensure that gross
axle weight, gross vehicle weight and gross
combined weight ratings are not exceeded. The
recreational vehicle and tow vehicle must be
weighed in a loaded, ready to travel condition
including passengers, water, propane and
cargo. All slideout rooms must be retracted.
NOTE:
Example scale readings and weight
ratings are fictitious. Actual scale
readings and gross axle weight ratings
will vary with model and options.
Tow Vehicle:
Record front GAWR. Example: GAWR
of tow vehicle front axle is 5,500 lbs.
Weigh the tow vehicle front axle and
record under Actual Weight.
Record rear GAWR. Example: GAWR
of tow vehicle rear axle is 8,500 lbs.
Weigh the tow vehicle rear axle and
record under Actual Weight.
Record manufacturer’s GCWR. Example
15,000.
Add Totals then compare to tow
vehicle curb weight and tow vehicle
manufacturer’s ratings.
Recreational Vehicle:
Record GAWR. Example: GAWR of
recreational vehicle axles are 2,600
lbs. Weigh the recreational vehicle and
record under Actual Weight.
Record GVWR. Example 6,100.
If necessary adjust cargo weight or cargo
loading as necessary.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to unhitch the
recreational vehicle depending on the
type of scale. Tongue weight should be
10-15% of total recreational vehicle
weight.
