LOADING
YOUR CAMPER
In order to ensure an even distribution of weight and a suitable ball weight load, it is imperative to load your
camper accurately to prevent excessive sway and/or roll. On a camper, the ball weight should be between 9 and
11% of the total weight.

THE DOWNWARD LOAD ON THE TOW HITCH (TOW BALL MASS (TBM)) SHOULD NOT EXCEED
200KG OR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED LOAD FOR YOUR VEHICLE, OR THE TOW BAR RATING,
WHICHEVER IS THE LOWER LIMIT. EXCEEDING THESE LIMITS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
•
Always load your camper evenly, on both sides.
•
Load the heaviest weighted items over, or as close to the axel as possible.
•
Things like heavy cooking equipment should be stored low, and over the axel.
•
Things like clothing, bedding etc can be stored at the back of the camper.
•
Do your best to ensure items, (particularly heavy items) can not move during transit to prevent damage to
your camper.
•
Never load in a manner that causes the Tow Ball Mass (TBM) exceed the limit on your tow vehicle.
•
Make sure you take into account a full, or empty water tank and how this will affect your TBM. Eg. When full,
your TBM will decrease a little. And as you empty that tank, your TBM will increase slightly.
