PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION

L
ABELS
Decals and data plates used throughout the
RV aid in its safe and efficient operation;
others give service instructions. Read all
decals, data and instruction plates before
operating your RV. If any decal, data or
instruction plate is painted over, damaged or
removed, it should be replaced.
Keep a record of the 17-digit vehicle
identification number (VIN) and your license
number in the event theft or vandalism
requires you to supply this information to the
authorities.

When loading heavy objects keep them as
low as possible, preferably on the floor.
Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on
each tire does not exceed one-half of the
GAWR for either axle. Store and secure all
loose items inside the motor home before
traveling.
Overlooked items such as canned goods,
small appliances on the countertop, cooking
pans on the range or free-standing furniture
items can become dangerous projectiles
during a sudden stop.

OMPARTMENTS
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.
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.
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.
DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR!
This
means you should weigh your RV as
loaded for your normal travel to determine
the actual weight.
Never load the RV in excess of the GAWR
for either axle.
Overloading your RV may
result in adverse handling characteristics
and damage to the chassis.
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.
