CARGO RAMP DOOR (page 28)
Do not load or unload your RV without first blocking all wheels to
prevent trailer movement. Movement during loading or unloading may
cause the cargo ramp door to shift and tongue jack to bend.
Do not sleep in the cargo bay area while internal combustion engines
are being operated, stored, or transported in the RV.
Do not use the patio deck for any purpose other than the intended
use. Doing so will void your warranty.
Failure to comply with any of these warnings may result in personal
injury or property damage.
AUTOMATED RAMP DOOR SUPPORT CABLES (page 28)
Rear patio cables MUST be detached from the ramp door before
trying to close it.
Damage could occur to the ramp door or the locking mechanism if
cables are not removed.
PATIO DECK - REAR (page 29) PATIO DECK - SIDE (page 30)
Caution should be taken not to exceed the maximum patio weight
capacity and to maintain even weight distribution.
Maximum capacity is 10 people 1500 lbs. (680 Kg) and an evenly
distributed load when in the patio position.
Stabilizers or leveling jacks MUST be used when the patio is deployed
and in use.
Failure to observe the weight limit or use other than intended may
result in property damage or serious personal injury.

LOADING THE CARGO AREA (page 29)
These guidelines must be followed when loading the cargo area:
•
DO NOT EXCEED YOUR GVWR! This means you should weigh
your RV as loaded for your normal travel to determine the actual
weight. If you exceed the GVWR, you MUST remove items from
the RV, or drain liquids, then re-weigh the vehicle to ensure you
have achieved a safe weight. Do not travel with full grey/black
holding tanks. Depending on the location of the grey or black
holding tanks, it can affect handling characteristics.
•
Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the cargo ramp.
See "CARGO RAMP DOOR" on page 28.
•
Failure to comply with weight capacities and distribution could
result in an accident or loss of control resulting in death or
serious injury.
•
Your recreation vehicle's load capacity is designated by weight,
not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space
when loading the vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and
ensure you are loading the vehicle as evenly as you can for the
best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are secured so they
do not shift during travel.
Failure to comply with weight capacities and distribution could result in
property damage or serious injury.
Any motorized vehicle or motorized equipment powered with
flammable liquid can cause fire, explosion, or asphyxiation if stored or
transported within the recreational vehicle. To reduce the risk of fire,
explosion or asphyxiation:
•
Do not ride in the vehicle storage area while vehicles are
present.
•
Do not sleep in the vehicle storage area while vehicles are
present.
•
Close doors and windows in walls of separation (if installed)
while any vehicle is present.
•
Run fuel out of engines of stored vehicles after shutting off fuel at
the tank.
•
Do not store, transport, or dispense fuel inside this vehicle.
•
Open the windows, openings, or air ventilation systems provided
for venting the transportation area when vehicles are present.
•
Do not operate propane appliances, pilot lights, or electrical
equipment when vehicles are present.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK
OF FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR ASPHYXIATION RESULTING IN DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
