Driving & Safety
Federal law requires that the specifications for the tire’s maximum load
rating be molded into the sidewall of the tire. The amount of air pressure to
use is dependent on the weight of the motorhome when it is fully loaded. The
chart within this section indicates the weights that can be properly supported
by varying air pressures. Decreasing air pressure decreases load carrying
capacity.
Always comply with the tire manufacturer's recommended pressure
inflation guideline. The actual weight of the motorhome can vary
significantly depending on how it is loaded. For optimum tire wear, ride and
handling always comply with the manufacturer guideline. A tire inflation
chart listing proper inflation pressure for different loads is contained in this
section of the manual.
The tires of the motorhome are inflated to pressure(s) appropriate for the
actual weight on each axle in the unloaded, shipped condition. When the
motorhome is loaded, check and adjust the inflation pressure on each tire as
needed.
Always inflate tires to the pressure indicated in the tire chart for the
load carried by the tire. DO NOT OVERINFLATE OR UNDERINFLATE
THE TIRES.
The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of the axles listed on the federal
certification label attached to the motorhome is the maximum allowable
loaded weight on an axle.
When the actual loaded weight of the motorhome and the weight on each
axle is unknown, follow the recommended tire inflation pressure(s) listed on
the federal certification label. When loading a motorhome never exceed the
motorhome's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the GAWR for each
axle.
Contact the tire manufacturer for further information concerning proper
tire pressure inflation and other tire issues.
