While the actual loaded axle weight should be below the GAWR, you must
weigh your motorhome in a loaded condition to know its actual weight. Weigh
the front axle, the total unit and the rear axle. It is possible for a motorhome to
be within the GVWR yet overloaded on an axle. It is even possible for one
wheel position to be overloaded, even though the GAWR has not been exceed-
ed. For this reason (if there is room to the sides of the scales) weigh each
wheel position of the motorhome. This will give a clear indication of exactly
how the weight of the motorhome is distributed. These instructions and dia-
grams are presented on the following pages. When the total weight, and the
weight on each axle is known, the tire load data chart in this manual will show
you the correct cold inflation pressure per tire for each axle.
There are two important factors to consider when loading the motorhome:
total weight and balance. When loading heavy objects keep them as low as
possible, preferably on the floor. Load weight must be distributed as evenly as
possible. The following is an explanation of commonly used weight abbrevia-
tions.
