IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ON VEHICLE LOADING
CAUTION
The components of your Motor Home
are designed to provide satisfactory
service
if the vehicle is not loaded in
excess of
either the gross vehicle weight,
or the maximum
front and rear end
weights, specified
on
a
permanent place
which is
located behind the right engine
access door .
Overloading can create seri-
ous potential
safety hazards and can
also shorten the
service life
of
your ve-
hicle . Your local dealer
can advise you
concerning proper
loading conditions of
your vehicle .
When loading
the Motor Home, it is impor-
tant that it is
properly loaded . All items should
be loaded as
centrally and as low as possible .
This is essential to
maintain proper vehicle
handling . Even
though a single item may not
weigh much alone,
several of these items may
have considerable
weight . Proper loading is
essential .

Vehicle Loading (Model 230)

The weight of the load must be properly dis-
tributed over both the front and
the rear axles,
although not necessarily evenly . The plate shows
the maximum weight that the
front axle can
carry and the maximum weight that the rear
axles can carry . Note that the sum of these is
greater than the GVW, so that it is
not neces-
sarily proper to load
both axles, at the same
time, to the maximum capacity shown for each
.
The GVW rating represents the weight
that the
complete vehicle is
designed to carry, taking into
consideration the engine, transmission, frame,
spring, and tire
capabilities . Actual front and
rear end weights at the ground can only be
determined by weighing the vehicle .
This can
be accomplished through
highway weigh sta-
tions or other such commercial facilities . For
assistance in this regard, consult
your service
