Section 3: Pre-Travel Information
Loading Your Motor Home
Store and secure all loose items inside the motor home before traveling. Overlooked 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. Make sure any tie down straps (if so equipped) on appliances or
furniture are secure. Load heavy objects on the floor, or as low as possible.
Never load the motorhome in excess of the GVWR or the GAWR for
either axle.
Overloading your motorhome may result in adverse handling
characteristics and damage to the chassis.
DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR!
This means you should weigh
your vehicle as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual
weight. If you exceed the GVWR, you MUST remove items from the
motor home, or drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you
have achieved a safe weight.
The actual weight of the vehicle, passengers, all options, liquids, the
hitch weight of your towed vehicle and your personal cargo is important
for you to know so you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) of the motor home. The volume of space available for storage
may exceed the amount of available cargo capacity. Large storage com-
partments have been designed to accommodate normal camping items,
which are bulky, but not necessarily heavy.
Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by
volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading
the vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the
vehicle as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy
items are secured so they do not shift during travel.
Store items in areas designated for storage. Do not store anything in
the areas reserved for the converter, electrical panels, furnace or water
heater, etc.
For traveling safety, it is important to make sure the tie down straps are
secured on all appliances such as the toaster, coffee maker, etc. Vibration
during travel will move the appliances, creating the potential for them to
fall out of their cabinets possibly causing injury.
Trailer Plug
If you choose to tow behind your RV, a chassis manufacturer supplied 7-way trailer plug
(located at the hitch) is pre-wired into your motor home. Before hitching up to a trailer,
please read
Using the Rear Hitch
, vehicle weight ratings, etc. Your motor home may have
both 4-way and 7-way trailer receptacles.
Wiring to operate your towed vehicle brakes must be the same size in both the towed vehicle
and the motor home.
