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 excess weight in the
trunk only. Excessive weight in the trunk area tends to develop
sway and “fishtailing” of the trailer.
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.
Excess weight behind the axle lightens the hitch weight and will tend
to magnify any sway that may occur when passing trucks or when
gusty winds are present. Uncalculated weight can and will effect
road performance.
When using a weight distributing hitch and equalizer bars, you may
move/transfer hitch weight from coach to tow vehicle assisting with
level towing and easier travel.
Any damage caused by improper loading or installing additional equipment
is NOT covered by KZRV Limited Warranty.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT overload your unit. Please follow the GVWR when loading your
recreational vehicle to avoid damages.
