weight is performed as listed in this manual. Overloading will affect
warranty coverage plus handling issues.
A reasonable principle in loading your coach is for every two pounds
of weight loaded in front of axles, one pound must be loaded behind
axles. Also remember, improper side to side loading affects spring
condition, plus sway. In toy haulers, loading will be slightly
different. You may place 40% of cargo in the rear space. The other
60% your cargo needs to be distributed as specified in first
sentence. Uncalculated weight can and will affect road performance.
Items in cargo area MUST be secured and/or loaded on the floor as
close to the axle as possible. Store only light weight items in over
head cabinets .Unsecured items in rear will bounce, shift and move
around.
When loading heavy cargo/contents into storage area, you MUST
have leveling jacks in down supporting position for any vehicle
movement as being loaded.
Any two wheel items such as bicycles or motorcycles, will require
additional support for the front wheel, such as a “wheel chock”. Any
such stabilizer item as a wheel chock MUST be installed per
manufacture’s instructions.
INTERIOR, CARGO AREA
With internal combustion engines stored inside of cargo area, your
living space has restricted use. Fumes from gasoline in engines are
hazardous to your respiratory system in humans and pets. After
removing vehicles containing gasoline fumes, ventilation is
required, before occupying the recreational vehicle. Two vents are
located in cargo area, one on each side, which MUST be open at
least 2 hours before occupying your camper. Opening any windows
will also help.
The tie downs provided are for general purpose use (rating 500 lbs each).
The transport of certain types of cargo (motorcycles, bikes, etc.), may re-
quire additional accessories for secure transport. Please refer to owners
manuals or contact the manufactures of these specific items for more infor-
mation.
