Loading the Cargo Area
To assure safe towing and travel, it is important the proper attention be given to loading the
cargo area. Caution should be taken not to exceed the weight capacity of the cargo ramp,
cargo area and the GVWR of the RV. It is also important to make sure you comply with all
towing requirements of your tow vehicle. Refer to the tow vehicle’s owner’s manual for
towing requirements. (Refer to Cargo Ramp Door Capacity section).
These guidelines must be followed when loading the cargo area:
This means you should weigh
your RV as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual weight.
If you exceed the GVWR, you remove items from the RV, or
drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you have achieved a
safe weight. Do not travel with full grey/black holding tanks. Depending
on the location of the grey or black holding tanks, it can aect handling
characteristics.
Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the cargo ramp. See
Cargo Door section.
Failure to comply with weight capacities and distribution could result in
an accident or loss of control resulting in death of serious injury.
Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by
volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading
the vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the
vehicle as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy
items are secured so they do not shift during travel.
