Loading your Trailer
Your recreational vehicle has been engineered to make maximum
use of the available space for living and storage areas. The
equipment and supplies you take along while traveling can be
carried safely, provided the additional weight is distributed properly.
Proper weight distribution within your trailer is an important factor in
safety and efficiency of your trailer brakes, hitching, and how your
tow vehicle will pull the trailer. DO NOT put excessive weight in the
rear area. Excessive weight in the rear lightens the hitch weight,
tends to magnify any sway from passing trucks or gusty winds, and
reduce your control of coach when towing.
Lightweight and bulky items such as paper products, bedding,
clothing, etc., should be stored in overhead cabinets and closets.
Heavy items such as cooking utensils should be placed in lower
cabinets. Canned goods need to be in a pantry, if so equipped, or
in lower cabinets. Also, heavy items should be secured to avoid
shifting during travel.
A reasonable principle in loading your coach is for every two pounds
of weight loaded in front of the axle, one pound of weight must be
loaded behind the axle. Also remember, improper side-to-side
loading affects spring condition.
Uncalculated weight can and will effect your road performance.
Several floor plans have a rear storage section built into the trailer.
Be very cautious how you load this area. Failure to abide by the
weight limits can cause erratic performance while towing.
