Guidelines for Loading the Motorhome:
• Distribute the cargo weight evenly from side-to-side and front-to-back.
This practice will prevent both handling problems and uneven stress
on the components throughout the life of the motorhome.
• Heavy items should be stored near the rear axle, lighter items stored
toward the front.
• To maintain a low center of gravity and reduce sway, store light items
in the overhead cabinets and heavier items near the floor.
• Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the
balance of the motorhome.
TIPS: Multi-purpose items, versatile clothing and periodic removal
of unused cargo will streamline cargo storage.
When using the rear hitch receiver, remember that
the motorhome is intended for towing light loads and
is primarily designed as a recreational vehicle. Safety
and durability of the hitch receiver requires proper
receiver use. Avoid excessive towing loads or other
misuse of the receiver. Towing will affect fuel economy.
Weight pushing down on the rear hitch must not
exceed 10% of the hitch capacity. It is recommended
to weigh the motorhome when fully loaded to ensure
proper weight distribution of the GCVW (Gross
Combined Vehicle Weight). When weighing the
motorhome add all passenger weight to the GCVW
total. The fully loaded motorhome, including fresh
water, LP-Gas and any vehicle or trailer towed, must
not exceed the GCVW.
WARNING: Most states and Canadian provinces require any
trailer or vehicle being towed have adequate auxiliary brakes.
Failure to comply with these State and Canadian province
requirements may result in fines and/or pose a safety hazard,
which may result in an accident.
