EIGHT LABELS
Vehicle weight labels are posted on Jayco
manufactured RVs so you can make an
informed decision before your purchase. Do not
remove these labels from your RV. If the labels
are missing, contact your dealer or Jayco
Customer Service for replacements.

You may question the total weight capacity
of the tires on your RV being less than the
GVWR; this is correct. In order to calculate
the actual weight on the RV tires, it is
necessary to include the tongue weight. The
tongue weight is actually being carried by
your tow vehicle, not the RV tires.
For example: If the tires are rated at
2,000 lbs. each x 4 tires = 8,000 lbs.
and the RV has a GVWR of 9,000
lbs. with a pin box weight of 2,000
lbs. The actual weight on the RV
tires is 7,000 lbs. which is within the
weight rating of the tires.
If you have further questions, please contact
your dealer or Jayco Customer Service.

Hitch selection is important because it
affects the towing and handling
characteristics of your RV. There are many
kinds of hitches available for various uses
and assuring that you have the correct hitch
installed is critical to a safe towing
experience.
Ask your dealer about the proper class and
type of hitch you need to purchase for your
individual tow vehicle/RV combination (a
travel trailer requires a frame mounted hitch;
a fifth wheel requires a pin box hitch bolted
directly to the floor of the truck box through
the frame). Fifth wheels have a factory-
installed standard pin box that is not
interchangeable.
The factory-installed weight labels are
specific to the recreation vehicle for which
they are supplied and are not
interchangeable.
Using an oversized or undersized hitch
can cause damage to the RV frame. Jayco
cannot be responsible for the tow vehicle
suspension system. The final ball height
after the tow vehicle/travel trailer
combination is completely hooked up is a
factor that must be considered. To avoid
overloading your trailer axles and minimize
possible handling difficulties, your trailer
should be level when hooked to your tow
vehicle. Do not overload your tow vehicle.
