3.
Center the towed load on the scale and take a reading. This
is the Towed Vehicle Weight (Reading 4).
4. Subtract Reading 1 from Reading
2.
This is the rear Gross
Axle Weight (Reading 3).
Compare the readings taken on the scales to the weight rat-
ings on the Federal certification tag and carrying capacity
label. Fill in the chart to aid in comparing weights.
If
any readings are higher than the rating, you will have
to
adjust or remove the load.
If
you exceed weight ratings, you will:
» Cause unsafe braking.
» Cause unstable driving
and
handling characteristics.
» Cause damage to the motor home, drive train, or chassis.
» 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.
