PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
Never load the RV in excess of the GAWR for either axle. Overloading your
RV may result in adverse handling characteristics and damage to the chassis.
9#40+0)
Store items in areas designated for storage. Do not store anything in the areas
reserved for the converter, electrical panels or the furnace or water heater, etc.

DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh your RV
as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight. If you exceed
the GVWR, you MUST remove items from the RV, or drain liquids, then re-
weigh the vehicle to ensure you have achieved a safe weight. Do not travel
with full grey/black holding tanks. This not only wastes gas but, depending
upon the location of the grey or black holding tanks, can affect handling
characteristics.

Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by
volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the
vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle
as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are
secured so they do not shift during travel.

Receiver is for cargo carrying accessories ONLY. DO NOT tow any
trailer or other vehicle. Use for towing or exceeding load limit will void the
warranty. Failure to follow the instructions can cause the carrier to collapse or
items to fall which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

LOADING YOUR RECREATION VEHICLE
Store and secure all loose items inside the RV before traveling. Overlooked items such as
canned goods, or small appliances on the countertop, cooking pans on the range or free-
standing furniture items can become dangerous projectiles during a sudden stop.
Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on each tire does not exceed one-half of the
GAWR for either axle. For traveling safety, it is important to make sure any tie down straps
(if so equipped) on appliances or furniture are secure.
