MOTORHOME
7.3 VEHICLE WEIGHT-LOADED
When loading the motorhome, make sure that the
Front or Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and
the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) are
not exceeded. Check your Vehicle Certification
Label for weights. If in doubt, take your motorhome
to a weigh scale and check the front axle, rear axle
and total vehicle weight on a scale.
Distribute the weight in the motorhome evenly from
side to side to maintain maximum vehicle stability.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that all holding
tanks be emptied before travelling to
avoid unnecessary weight.
CAUTION
The loaded weight of the vehicle
including passengers, optional
equipment, water, fuel, luggage and
all other cargo must not exceed the
GVWR or GAWR indicated on the
Vehicle Certification Label.
7.4
FRONT AXLE TIRE ALIGNMENT
The front-end tire/wheel alignment was done at the
factory prior to delivery based on the vehicle being
empty and on the weight distribution at that time.
It is recommended that the front end be aligned
once you have established a loading pattern
according to your needs. After an initial adjust-
ment, it is a good idea to have the front suspension
checked periodically and to check tires regularly for
abnormal wear.
7.5 MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY
All occupants must be in seats equipped with lap
or shoulder harness seat belts and the seat belt
fastened before travelling. Small children should
always be placed in a certified child restraint
system and secured with a seat belt.
WARNING
The belted seating positions in your motorhome may
be different than the stated sleeping capacity. In the
US this is referred to as the Net Carrying Capacity
(NCC) or the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) in
Canada.
Triple E uses sleeping capacity as opposed to seating
capacity to determine the NCC or CCC. You may use
all the belted seating positions available in your
motorhome provided you stay within the GVWR listed
on your Vehicle Certification Label.
