EIGHT LABELS
Vehicle weight labels are posted on Jayco
manufactured RVs so you can make an
informed decision before your purchase. Do
not remove these labels from the exterior of
your RV. If the labels are missing, contact
your dealer or Jayco Customer Service for
replacements.

You may question the total weight capacity of
the tires on your RV being less than the
GVWR; this is correct. In order to calculate
the actual weight on the RV tires, it is
necessary to include the pin box weight. The
pin box weight is actually being carried by
your tow vehicle, not the RV tires.
For example: If the tires are rated at
2,000 lbs. each x 4 tires = 8,000 lbs.
and the RV has a GVWR of 9,000 lbs.
with a pin box weight of 2,000 lbs. The
actual weight on the RV tires is 7,000
lbs. which is within the weight rating of
the tires.
If you have further questions, please contact
your dealer or Jayco Customer Service.

Hitch selection is important because it affects
the towing and handling characteristics of
your RV. There are many kinds of hitches
available for various uses and assuring that
you have the correct hitch installed is critical
to a safe towing experience.
Ask your dealer about the proper class and
type of hitch you need to purchase for your
individual tow vehicle/RV combination (a fifth
wheel requires a pin box hitch bolted directly
to the floor of the truck box through the
frame). Jayco fifth wheels have a factory-
installed standard pin box that is not
interchangeable.
The factory-installed weight labels are
specific to the recreation vehicle for which
they are supplied and are not
interchangeable.
Using an oversized or undersized hitch
can cause damage to the RV frame. Jayco
cannot be responsible for the tow vehicle
suspension system. The final pin box
height after the tow vehicle/ RV
combination is completely hooked up is a
factor that must be considered. To avoid
overloading your trailer axles and minimize
possible handling difficulties, your trailer
should be level when hooked to your tow
vehicle. Do not overload your tow vehicle.
