occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity
Your motor home is designed to carry the loads defined by the Gross axle Weight rating (GAWR - the value
specified by the chassis manufacturer as the load carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured
at the tire/ground interface.) The
Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR - the maximum permissible loaded
weight of the motor home) is shown on the vehicle information sticker posted near the driver's side front
window or inside the driver's side door jam. These ratings are for a fully loaded vehicle including passengers
and normal belongings

and may even create a safety
hazard. Modification of your vehicle to carry additional equipment or vehicles is not
recommended and may void your warranty.
Note: Be sure the weight of passengers, equipment and supplies does not cause your
motor home to exceed axle loads and overall vehicle loads for which it was
designed. If in doubt, weigh the vehicle at a public scale. Keep in mind the number
of safety belts in a unit are there for the convenience and use of the owner.
Carrying the number of people equal to the number of seat belts may exceed the
weight ratings. A motor home has the potential to be overloaded and removal
or redistribution of weight may be necessary from time to time to stay within
weight ratings. Your motor home includes a "Weight Information Label." This
label provides specific weight information for your motor home as a guideline
so that you can determine the load carrying capabilities.
The Thor Motor Coach Motor Home WEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS yellow label concisely states the occupant
and cargo carrying capacity of your motor home ( per the requirements of 49 CFR part 571.120 as issued by
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - NHTSA).
The yellow MOTOR HOME OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY weight label is affixed to the
interior side of the forward-most door of your motor home on the passenger side This label indicated how much
weight you can safely carry within the vehicle.
For a Class C: The label is affixed directly to the door front door jamb.
