WARNING
If the total weight of the RV (GVW) exceeds the
GVWR, the RV is overloaded. Operating your
RV while exceeding the specified weight ratings
increases the risk of a crash, personal injury and
death. It is imperative that you remove cargo
(equipment, water, personal belongings, etc.)
until the total weight of the RV no longer
exceeds the GVWR before operating the RV.
WARNING
Although it is ideal to check and fill tire
pressures when the tires are cold,
if you discover a tire on your RV that is
underinflated, even if the tires are warm,
add air until the recommended cold inflation
pressure is reached. The warm tire may
remain slightly underinflated, but this is
much safer than driving with a significantly
underinflated tire. REMEMBER to recheck and
adjust the tire pressure(s) as soon as a
cold tire pressure reading can be obtained
to ensure proper inflation.
7. The Eect of Overloading
Your RV and Tires
Overloading your RV and/or tow vehicle’s
suspension system can cause spring, axle,
shock, chassis damage and/or brake failures.
Overloading your RV can increase stopping
distances, create handling and/or steering
problems or diculties, cause irregular tire wear,
blow-outs, tire failure, and/or other damage
to the RV and/or tow vehicle.
And, in cases of excessive overloading, RV
brakes are at risk of failing completely, particularly
on steep declines when the weight of the RV
applies additional stress to the brake system.
Tire overloading caused by exceeding Cargo
Carrying Capacity and/or improper inflation of tires
may result in abnormal flexing, wear, and tear of
the tire. Abnormal tire flexing can cause an
excessive amount of heat to generate within
the tire. This should be avoided at all costs.
Failure to do so may result in fire and/or
damage to tire assembly and/or RV.
DANGER
EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY LEAD TO TIRE
FAILURE. PROPER INFLATION IS CRITICAL.
It is the air pressure that enables a tire to
support the load.
DANGER
Overloading your RV can have serious
consequences for passenger safety.
An overloaded vehicle is generally harder
to drive and more dicult to stop.
Excessive overloading may also cause
brakes to fail completely.
DANGER
If the weight on the trailer axles exceeds the
GAWR, the axles are overloaded. Operating your
RV while exceeding the specified weight ratings
increases the risk of a crash, personal injury,
and death. It is imperative that you remove
or rearrange cargo (equipment, personal
belongings, water, etc.) until the axle weight no
longer exceeds the GAWR before operating the
unit. Not operating your RV within the designed
weight ratings can damage your recreational
vehicle and can void the warranties.
