To determine the weight on either the front or rear axle, drive that axle only onto the scale. Neither axle
weight should exceed the corresponding maximum axle weight rating specified on the certification label.
MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY
The following label is placed in a visible location in the driver compartment.
Belted seating positions may exceed sleeping capacity of this vehicle. See owner's manual for
occupancy and weight restrictions.
The number of belted seating positions in your motor home may exceed the number of people used to
determine maximum coach occupancy, called the Net Carrying Capacity (NCC) in the U.S. or Cargo Carrying
Capacity (CCC) in Canada.
To calculate the NCC or CCC, AMLRV uses vehicle-sleeping capacity, however your coach may be equipped
with more belted seating positions than sleeping positions to give passengers a choice of seating
arrangements. You may use all of the belted seated positions providing you stay within your vehicle’s GVWR
listed on the Vehicle Certification Label.
However you use or load your vehicle, it is your responsibility to keep the weight within its stated gross
vehicle weight rating.
ROOF LOADING
The roof on most models is capable of carrying some lightweight articles while the vehicle is in motion. A
roof-mounted luggage carrier designed for this purpose is available from your dealer. However, roof load
while the vehicle is in motion is not to exceed 10 pounds per square foot or a maximum of 100 pounds.
When the vehicle is stationary, a cargo load of 100 pounds plus the weight of a 225-pound person to load the
cargo or to conduct inspection and maintenance is permissible.
Weight added to both the roof and the trailer hitch contributes to the gross vehicle weight, which must not
exceed the vehicle’s GVWR.
CAR OR TRAILER TOWING
Your coach’s towing and hitch ball capacity may be less due to the coach’s loaded weight and/or the towed
vehicle’s weight and hitch ball weight. The combined weight of the coach and the towed vehicle should not
exceed the coach’s Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). Also, the combined weight of the coach and the
towed vehicle’s hitch ball weight should not exceed the coach’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its
rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the Vehicle Certification Label.
Because of individual vehicle use and loading habits, we recommend weighing the vehicle while fully loaded
to avoid exceeding any of the listed Gross Weight Ratings. See “Vehicle Certification Label” on page 0-3 for
information on gross weight ratings.
Towing will affect vehicle handling, durability and fuel economy. Exceeding any of the listed Gross Weight
Ratings will result in unacceptable overall vehicle performance. Maximum safety and satisfaction when
towing depends on proper use of correct equipment. A hitch bar of appropriate steel and size should be
selected to mate with the towing system.
Installation of a proper trailer brake system is recommended. Check regulations on trailer weight and trailer
brake requirements to be sure you select the right equipment before towing.
