If
you expect to tow with your motor home, there are addi-
tional guidelines that you must follow:
» Do not use a load equalizing hitch.
It
could cause struc-
tural damage
to
the motor home frame components.
» Limit the tongue weight
to
the Towed Weight as listed on
the carrying capacity label. Heavier tongue weights can
change 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
and
cause a vehicle crash, damage the motor home
structure
or
drive train,
and
restrict
your
coverage
under the Fleetwood
or
chassis manufacturer's warran-
ty.
Changing the trailer hitch will
not
increase the tow
capacity
of
the motor home.
» Consult the Chassis Operator's/Owner's Guide/
Manual,
and
U.S. state
and
Canadian provincial laws
for
towing weight limits
and
for
guidelines
for
installing
supplemental 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.
