USAGE
OF
YOUR
R.V.
HITCH
HEIGHT
The correct hitch ball height is listed on the chart below for your
camping trailer.
It
is measured with the coach in level position,
measuring from the
top
of the ball to ground level.
Jayco Incorporated cannot
be
responsible for
the
suspension
system of
tow
vehicle which could definitely
be
a factor of ball
height after coach
is
completely hooked up.
SPECIFICATIONS
LOADING
Loading camping gear in your Jayco recreational vehicle should
be
handled with
some
serious consideration.
All cargo, supplies, and
equipment that you load should be distributed evenly with the
heaviest items being stored
in
the lower cupboards and shelves
and only lightweight items in the upper cupboards. Be
sure
that
all heavy items are tightly secured to prevent weight
shifts
while
traveling.
For every pound added behind the axle center
you
need to add
two
pounds in front of the
axle
center, in order to maintain
approximately the hitch weight of the tongue.
CARGO
CAPACITY
Located on the
left
front corner of the frame or on the
left
front
tongue member is the Federal Certification Label which gives the
maximum weight-carrying capacities of your trailer and each
axle,
designated
by
the letters
"GVWR"
and
"GAWR",
respectively.
