Loading Cargo
Packing camping gear in your travel trailer requires serious consideration. All cargo
should 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.
1
CAUTION: DO NOT overload your travel trailer. Do not exceed the GVWR
of your Jayco travel trailer.
When loading is completed, it is strongly suggested that you drive to a large scale and
have your travel trailer weighed. If you are over loaded, it is advisable that you remove
some of your cargo or liquids.
1
WARNING: The rear square tubular bumper on the frame of your
travel trailer is not designed to carry over 100 pounds (45 kilograms).
Never add items such as bike racks, generators, motorcycle racks, heavy tool
boxes, etc. to the this bumper. Installation of items exceeding 100 pounds (45
kilograms) will cause metal fatigue, weld stress and damage your bumper.
1
WARNING: DO NOT tow a trailer behind your travel trailer. Your
trailer frame and bumper are NOT designed to tow another trailer. If
your unit is equipped with a frame mounted bike rack receiver, this receiver
must never be used for towing anything behind the travel 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.
1
CAUTION: Damage from add-on equipment or improper loading is not
covered by your Jayco Limited Warranty.
1
WARNING: We recommend that you DO NOT travel with waste in
your holding tanks. The weight of holding tank contents is not calcu-
lated into the cargo carrying capacity of the unit 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 unit. 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 are dry camping and 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 full or nearly full tanks, together with cargo you have added,
may exceed the GVWR of your trailer, causing towing difficulties and result-
ing in property damage or personal injury.
