If
you expect to tow with your motor home, there are addi-
tional guidelines that you must follow:
» Do
IlOt
use a load equalizillg hitch.
It
could cause struc-
tural damage
to
the motor home frame compollellts.
» Limit the tongue weight
to
the Towed Weight as listed
Oil
the carrying capacity label. Heavier tOllgue weights can
challge your vehicle's handling
and
response, can cause
a vehicle
to
crash,
and
will restrict
your
coverage under
the
Ownercare Warranty.
» Do
not
tow anything weighing more than the
GTW
list-
ed
on the carrying capacity label. Heavier towed loads
can exceed
your
chassis' ability to
pull
and
stop the load
alld cause a vehicle crash, damage the motor home
structure or drive train,
and
restrict
your
coverage
under the Fleetwood or chassis mallufacturer's
warran-
ty.
Challgillg the trailer hitch will
not
increase the tow
capacity
of
the motor home.
» Consult the Chassis Operator's/Owller's Guide/
Mallual, alld
U.S.
state alld Canadian provincial laws
for towing weight limits
and
for guidelilles
for
illstalling
supplemelltal braking systems that operate with
your
motor home's brakes.
The way your motor home handles and responds will be
affected by the way the towed unit is loaded.
If
the tongue
weight is too light in relation to the GTW, handling and
response will change and your motor home will operate less
safely. Careful load planning and safe experimentation with
different loading patterns in what you are towing can avoid
this risk and make your driving and towing experience safer
and more enjoyable.
WARNING
Do
not exceed
the
rated
load of
the
motor home,
or
the
rated load of any
axle. Exceeding the
GVWR, GAWR, GTW or
GCWR of your motor
home can cause han-
dling problems, a vehicle
crash, damage your
motor home and void
your warranties.
