at the factory. It includes full propane tanks and full generator fuel
(if equipped).
For example, if the tires are rated at 2,000 lbs. each x 4 tires =
8,000 lbs. and the RV has a GVWR of 9,000 lbs. with a tongue
weight of 1,200 lbs. The actual weight on the RV tires is (9,000 –
1,200) which equals 7,800 lbs. which is within the weight rating of
the tires.
The total weight capacity of the tires on your RV can be less than the
GVWR. The calculation for the actual weight on the RV tires does
not include the tongue weight. Your tow vehicle, not the RV tires, is
actually carrying the tongue weight.

LOADING YOUR RV
(See page 16)
Store and secure all loose items inside the RV before traveling.
Distribute cargo side-to-side so the weight on each tire does not
exceed one-half of the GAWR for either axle. Make sure any tie down
straps (if equipped) on appliances or furniture are secure. Load
heavy objects on the floor, or as low as possible.

REAR BUMPER
(See page 16)
The rear bumper of your RV is not designed to carry cargo. Items that
extend beyond the bumper or weigh over 100 lbs. (45kg) will place
undo strain on the bumper. The 100 lb. bumper capacity includes the
weight of the spare tire (if equipped).
Some items may fall within the given weight range, (IE: bike racks)
however, they can still cause damage. In addition, extra weight
behind the axle may reduce the hitch weight which can adversely
affect handling.
CARGO CARRYING ACCESSORY RECEIVER (IF
EQUIPPED)
Receiver is for cargo carrying accessories ONLY. DO NOT tow
any trailer or other vehicle. Load Limit for this receiver is 300 lbs.
maximum. Use for towing or exceeding load limit will void the
warranty. Failure to follow the instructions can cause the carrier to
collapse or items to fall which could cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
BIKE RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
Your RV may be equipped with a bike rack. Refer to the bike
rack manufacturer's owner's manual for detailed safety and user
information.
