Store and secure all loose items inside the motor home before traveling. Overlooked 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

This means you should weigh
your vehicle as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual
weight. If you exceed the GVWR, you remove items from the
motor home, or drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you
have achieved a safe weight.
The actual weight of the vehicle, passengers, all options, liquids, the
hitch weight of your towed vehicle and your personal cargo is important
for you to know so you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) of the motorhome. The volume of space available for storage
may exceed the amount of available cargo capacity. Large storage com-
partments have been designed to accommodate normal camping items,
which are bulky, but not necessarily heavy.
