been designed to accommodate normal
camping items, such as lawn chairs, portable
grill, sporting goods (fishing poles, golf clubs),
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; when loading
heavy objects keep them as low as possible
(preferably on the floor).
Decide on the various items of food, clothing,
equipment and other supplies you will need for
the length and destination of your trip. Store
and secure all loose items inside the RV before
traveling. Overlooked items such as canned
goods, or small appliances on the countertop,
cooking pans on the range or free-standing
furniture 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. For traveling safety, it is
important to make sure any tie down straps (if
so equipped) on appliances or furniture are
secured.

OMPARTMENTS
Large storage compartments have been
designed to accommodate normal camping
items, such as lawn chairs, the portable BBQ
grill, sporting goods (i.e., fishing poles, golf
clubs) which are bulky, but not necessarily
heavy.
The compartment doors under the slideout
rooms may have a metal cable with an end
loop that is designed to fit over the top portion
of the compartment door gas struts. The
compartment door cable allows you to limit the
degree of compartment door swing. When the
slideout room(s) is retracted, you may remove
the compartment door cables for full
compartment door swing.
Make sure all
appropriate compartment door cables are
attached to the compartment door gas
struts when the slideout room is extended.

WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR!
This
means you should weigh your RV as
loaded for your normal travel to determine
the actual weight. If you exceed the GVWR,
you
MUST
remove items from the RV, or
drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to
ensure you have achieved a safe weight.
Never travel with full grey/black holding
tanks. This not only wastes gas but,
depending upon the location of the grey or
black holding tanks, can affect handling
characteristics.
WARNING
Store items in areas designated for
storage. Do not store anything in the areas
reserved for the converter, electrical panels
or the furnace or water heater, etc.
