REAR BUMPER
The rear bumper of your recreation vehicle is not designed to carry cargo. Items that
extend beyond the bumper OR weigh over 100 lbs. (45kg) will place undo strain on the
bumper. The 100 lb. bumper capacity includes the weight of the spare tire that may have
been attached at the factory.
NOTE: Some items may fall within the given weight range, (like bike racks) however,
they can still cause damage. Over time, weight added to the bumper will cause damage
from the motion created while traveling. In addition, extra weight behind the axle may
reduce the hitch weight (leading to adverse handling conditions from wind gusts and/or
passing traffic.
CAMPING TRAILER ROOF
The maximum weight of equipment secured to the roof (in the travel mode) must not
exceed 350 lbs. The load capacity of the roof must not be exceeded. It is your
responsibility to know the weight of any installed or loaded aftermarket equipment (added
equipment will reduce the available cargo capacity). Additional items secured to the roof
of your camping trailer must be added into the overall RV weight.
The maximum weight that the roof can lift is 175 lbs. for power lift systems and 250 lbs.
for manual lift systems (this includes aftermarket equipment such as a bike rack, canopy,
air conditioner, boat rack, etc.) The following list provides approximate empty weights for
Starcraft provided brands.
If you purchase other brands, contact the manufacturer for the component weight ratings.
