The maximum weight of equipment secured
to the roof (in the travel mode) must not
exceed 350#. The load capacity of the roof
must not be exceeded. It is your responsibility
to know the weight of any installed or loaded
aftermarket equipment (added equipment will
reduce the available cargo capacity).
Additional items secured to the roof of your
camping trailer must be added into the overall
RV weight.
The maximum weight that the roof can lift is
250# (this includes aftermarket equipment
such as a bike rack, canopy, air conditioner,
boat rack, etc.) The following list provides
approximate empty weights for Jayco
provided brands. If you purchase other
brands, contact the OEM for the component
weight ratings.

Never mount a storage pod directly to the
roof.
It is necessary to provide a rack system
that secures to the outer edges of the roof to
support and evenly distribute the weight of the
storage pod. Consult your dealer for proper
installation.
Never walk on the roof. The roof of a folding
camping trailer is not designed to
accommodate the weight, scratches, dents
and punctures that can occur from walking on
the roof.
Camping trailers have a ceiling light circuit fed
through a master shut-off switch that prevents
12-volt current from flowing to the ceiling
lights with the roof lowered. Periodically test
the light and switch to be sure the switch
adjustment is correct.

Your RV is equipped with a front deck for
hauling extra cargo. Make sure that you stay
within all weight limits for the deck and the
loading ramps. It is critical for proper handling
and trailer maintenance that you weigh your
RV completely loaded before heading out on
your trip. Make sure to unload the front deck
before unhitching your RV from the tow
vehicle.
Loading the ramps
The Baja is equipped with folding ramps to
load equipment onto the front deck. These
ramps are secured to the front deck to create
a railing during travel.
Fig. 3.5 Front deck and loading ramps
1. Unlock and remove one ramp from the
front deck and place it on the edge you
will be using to load the front deck.
2. Secure the ramp for loading by attaching
one end of the tie down to the unit frame,
and the other tie down end to the ramp.
Repeat for the other ramp.
Do not attempt to raise the roof with cargo
secured to it.
