PRE TRAVEL INFORMATION
REAR BUMPER
The rear bumper of your RV 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 (if equipped).
CARGO CARRYING ACCESSORY RECEIVER (IF
EQUIPPED)
(See page 16)
Some items may fall within the given weight range, (IE: bike racks)
however, they can still cause damage. In addition, extra weight
behind the axle may reduce the hitch weight which can adversely
affect handling.
Receiver is for cargo carrying accessories ONLY. DO NOT tow
any trailer or other vehicle. Load Limit for this receiver is 300 lbs.
maximum. 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.
BIKE RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
Your RV may be equipped with a bike rack. Refer to the bike
rack manufacturer’s owner’s manual for detailed safety and user
information.

at the factory. It includes full propane tanks and full generator fuel
(if equipped).
For example, if the tires are rated at 2,000 lbs. each x 4 tires =
8,000 lbs. and the RV has a GVWR of 9,000 lbs. with a tongue
weight of 1,200 lbs. The actual weight on the RV tires is (9,000 –
1,200) which equals 7,800 lbs. which is within the weight rating of
the tires.
The Federal Certification Label
The Federal Certification Label is required by the government
to verify the trailer complies with all motor vehicle standards for
Canada and the United States. It includes the following information:
Manufacturer name, VIN, GVWR, GAWR (front/rear), tire and rim
sizes and cold tire inflation pressures.
Tire and Loading Label
Tire and Loading Label provides information on the tire sizes, cold
tire inflation pressures, the VIN and maximum cargo capacity. The
maximum cargo capacity listed on the label does not include the
weight of a full load of water.
If you have further questions, please contact your dealer or our
Customer Service department.
LOADING YOUR RV
Store and secure all loose items inside the RV before traveling.
Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on each tire does not
exceed one-half of the GAWR for either axle. Make sure any tie down
straps (if equipped) on appliances or furniture are secure. Load
heavy objects on the floor, or as low as possible.
The total weight capacity of the tires on your RV can be less than the
GVWR. The calculation for the actual weight on the RV tires does
not include the tongue weight. Your tow vehicle, not the RV tires, is
actually carrying the tongue weight.
