Loading Cargo
Packing items in your park trailer requires serious consideration. All cargo must be distributed
evenly with the heaviest items stored in the lower cabinets. Heavy items must be secured to prevent
weight shifts while traveling. Additional weight should be added to either side of the trailer, or
behind or in front of the axle in an even manner so the balance and hitch weight of the trailer are
maintained. Heavier items should always be packed over or in front of the axles.

CAUTION: DO NOT overload your parktrailer. Do not exceed the GVWR of your Jayco
parktrailer.

WARNING: If your park trailer is not equipped with a roof ladder, do not walk or
store anything on your roof.
When loading is completed, it is strongly suggested that you drive to a large scale and have your park
trailer weighed. If you are over loaded, it is advisable that you remove some of your cargo or liquids.
I
WARNING: The rear bumper on the frame of park trailers is not designed to carry
over 100 pounds (45 kilograms). Never add items such as generators, motorcycle
racks, heavy tool boxes, etc. to the back of your trailer. Installation of items exceeding
100 pounds (45 kilograms) could cause metal fatigue and weld stress. DO NOT tow a
trailer behind your park trailer. Your trailer frame and bumper are NOT designed to
tow another trailer. Towing a trailer behind your Jayco trailer or overloading the rear
may result in damage to your trailer or to the added items, or cause towing difficulties,
resulting in property damage or personal injury.
I
WARNING: We recommend that you DO NOT travel with waste in your holding
tanks. The weight of holding tank contents is not calculated into the cargo carrying
capacity of the trailer and the extra weight will greatly diminish the cargo weight
available to you, possibly causing you to exceed the gross vehicle weight rating of the
trailer. This can damage suspension components, such as springs, tires and axles. If
your model has the holding tanks located behind the axles, the weight of a full tank will
reduce the hitch weight. Sway and other handling difficulties can be the result of the
hitch weight being too light. If you cannot immediately empty the tanks, use caution
when towing and maintain lower speeds for better control of the trailer until you
reach a dumping station. Towing your trailer with one or more tanks with full or
nearly full tanks, together with cargo you have added, may exceed the GVWR of your
trailer, causing towing difficulties and resulting in property damage or personal
injury.
