When you use your motor home to tow, remember that you
must stop the towed load with your motor home's brakes.
This is critical on hills and in the mountains where you may
encounter sharp curves and possibly irregular road surfaces.
Check your motor home
Chassis Operator's/Owner's
Guide/Manual
for the maximum weight your motor home
can pull and stop on both level and steep roads.
If
the
Chassis Operator's/Owner's Guide/Manual does not pro-
vide information on towing weight limits, do not tow a load
of
more than 1000 pounds unless the towed unit has a prop-
erly installed and operating supplement brake control system
that operates with the brakes on your motor home. The sup-
plemental brakes will
NOT allow you to tow more than the
listed GCWR for your motor home.
If
you
cannot stop, you
will crash.
You
must not exceed the weight factors listed below
if
you
expect
to
tow something behind your motor home, either
with or without a dolly. The factors are:
» GCWR - Gross Combined Weight Rating
»
GTW
- Gross Towed Weight
»
TW
- Tongue Weight
» GA WR - Gross
Axle
Weight Rating
The ratings for these factors are all listed on the carrying
capacity label posted inside the motor home.
