ON
THE
ROAD
As the operator
of
this motor home, you are responsible for
its proper and safe loading. This section is intended to pro-
vide you with helpful information concerning the loading
of
your motor home.
Your motor home chassis is designed to carry a specific max-
imum weight. This weight includes everything: the weight
of
the empty motor home itself, all occupants and their belong-
ings, fuel, fresh water, waste water and anything else that
may be in or attached to the motor home.
This weight must
never be exceeded.
If
you do exceed this weight, you will
change how your motor home handles and responds, possi-
bly leading
to
a vehicle crash.
Before discussing loading and weighing, we need
to
explain
some common weight terms.
We
will use abbreviations and
you should refer back to these terms
if
you do not understand
what the abbreviation means.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)'
means the maximum permissible weight
of
this motor
home. The GVWR is equal to or greater than the sum
of
the Unloaded Vehicle Weight plus the Net Carrying
Capacity.
GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating)"
means the value specified by the motor home manufac-
turer as the maximum allowable loaded weight
of
this
motor home with its towed trailer or towed vehicle.
Towing and braking capacities may be different. Refer
to
Fleetwood and the chassis manufacturer's manuals for
complete information.
*These ratings
are
shown on the
Carrying
Capacity label.
