Auto-Trail IMALA 615 - Preparing for the Road; Vehicle Weights

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD
Loading your vehicle
All models manufactured by Auto-Trail are of a well-balanced design. The most common causes of poor stability
include:
• Poor weight distribution inside the vehicle
• Incorrect tyre pressure (see table below)
Try to load heavy items as close to the floor as possible, between the axles and as evenly as possible side to side.
The table should remain in its dedicated storage position whilst the vehicle is in motion.
TOP TIP
Always adhere to the below tyre pressures in your Imala motorhome:

Vehicle weights
The weights of your vehicle are listed below, and can also be found on the type approval label located in the
engine bay of your vehicle.
Also included on the secondary weight plate is the following information:
• Type approval number of the vehicle
• Maximum authorised vehicle weight (must never be exceeded when vehicle is in use)
• Gross train weight (maximum authorised vehicle weight plus allowance for a trailer)
• '1' is the maximum authorised weight for the individual front axle
• '2' is the maximum authorised weight for the individual rear axle
Please note: if you add both maximum authorised axle weights together it will normally give you a larger
figure than the maximum authorised weight quoted on the plate. You must ensure that both the individual
axle weights and the overall vehicle maximum authorised weight are never exceeded.
When calculating the weight, please ensure you factor in all items you intend to carry in the motorhome. This
includes passengers, equipment, luggage, pets, food, sports equipment etc.
