JAYCO CAMPING TRAILERS SECTION 3 - PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
3-5
Store and secure all loose items inside the RV before traveling. Overlooked items
such as canned goods, or small appliances on the countertop, cooking pans on
the range or free-standing furniture items can become dangerous projectiles
during a sudden stop.
Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on each tire does not exceed one-half
of the GAWR for either axle. For traveling safety, it is important to make sure any
tie down straps (if so equipped) on appliances or furniture are secured.

& RV
There are two important factors when loading your RV, total weight and balance. It
is imperative that you verify compliance within all applicable weight ratings.
Overloading your RV will void the
Towable Limited Warranty and the warranties
of many component part manufacturers.
Have your RV weighed periodically at a public scale to determine the proper
load distribution.
Keep in mind that individual scales will operate differently.
The surroundings of the scale need to be adequate to accommodate weighing
each side of your RV.
To weigh your tow vehicle and RV
WARNING
The actual weight of the vehicle, all options, liquids, the hitch weight, and
your personal cargo is important for you to know so you do not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the recreation vehicle. The volume
of space available for storage may exceed the amount of available cargo
capacity. Large storage compartments have been designed to accommodate
normal camping items, which are bulky, but not necessarily heavy.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh your RV as
loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight.
WARNING
If you exceed the GVWR, you MUST remove items from the RV, or drain
liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you have achieved a safe weight.
Weight labels are posted inside your recreation vehicle so you can make a
decision before you buy about how much cargo capacity is important for you
personally.
WARNING
Total weight of your tow vehicle and RV must not exceed the GCWR. Do
not assume that you can tow a RV that happens to be within the capacity of
the tow vehicle hitch. By doing so, you may exceed the total GCWR of your
tow vehicle and RV towing combination.
