ON
THE
ROAD
If
you exceed weight ratings, you will:
» Cause damage to the motor home, drive train, or chassis
» Cause unstable driving
and
handling characteristics
» Cause unsafe braking
» Reduce
your
warranty protection.
Since you may load your motor home differently for different
trips, loading and weight patterns will change. Periodically
reweigh your motor home and log the weights in this chapter.
Refer to your log
as
you prepare to load for future trips.
» Do
not
load heavy items in upper cabinets.
» Secure
and
brace items so they won't move during travel,
thereby shifting the load.
» Do
not
load heavy items near either
end
of
the motor
home
or
on the bumpers.
»
Adjust
cargo storage
to
keep the side
to
side wheel loads
as equal as possible.
» Fresh water
and
waste water weigh over eight pounds
per
gallon. Carry only as
much
water as needed
for
travel
use
or
to
balance the load,
and
whenever possible, empty
the holding tanks before traveling.
