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 differ-
ent 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 8 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.
