Section 3: Pre-travel information
Loading Your Motorhome
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 motor home in excess of the GVWR or the GAWR
for either axle. Overloading your motor home 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
compartments 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.
