Holding Tank(s) and Motorhome Weight
I
WARNING: We recommend that you DO NOT travel with waste in
your holding tanks. With one or more full or nearly full holding tank(s),
the towing characteristics of your motorhome could change and may
result in property damage or personal injury.
The weight of holding tank contents are not calculated into the cargo carrying capacity of
the motorhome. The extra weight will diminish the cargo capacity available to you.
Traveling with full holding tank(s) could cause you to exceed the gross axle weight
rating(s), individual tire ratings and/or the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the unit.
Potential damage to suspension components, such as springs, tires and axles, could result.
If you are dry camping and cannot immediately empty the tank(s), reduce your speed until
you reach the nearest dumping station.
