Weight Distribution
Touring coach's have Fresh Water and Gray Water
Tanks, a water heater, and storage areas� It gives
you great flexibility in loading. With flexibility comes
responsibility� If you want to load down all the storage
compartments, the amount of fluids may have to be
reduced� It's a trade off so plan wisely� Distribute
your additional cargo as evenly as possible with the
heaviest objects located as low as possible�
Do you really want to carry a full fresh water tank to
a RV park 1,000 miles away and then hook up to a
city water supply? Even if you're going to a remote
area, you can usually fill your water tank shortly before
entering the area� Just reducing your load by 10
gallons of water lets you carry an additional 83�50 lb of
cargo�
