Traveling; Weights And Cargo Capacity - Jayco Eagle 264 BH Owner's Manual

TRAVELING

Weights and Cargo Capacity

For safety reasons, it is very important to provide RV owners with the most accurate
weight information available. The "Federal Certification" label (Fig. 3-2), located on
the roadside front corner of the travel trailer is shown here. Several weight terms an
owner needs to understand when operating a towable recreation vehicle are defined on
the "Trailer Weight Information" label (Fig. 3-3), which will be found on the back of a
cabinet door in the kitchen base cupboard. An important term in addition to the label
information is the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating). The GAWR is the maximum
weight rating that components of each axle are designed to support (i.e. tires, brakes,
springs, axle). Make sure that you review and understand the weight terms and
information.
The weight provided in the Jayco literature for your travel trailer is based on standard
equipment on that particular model and is "dry" (i.e. no liquids of cargo). Remember that
any options or personal cargo added must be subtracted from the available cargo
capacity. Never exceed the gross vehicle weight rating of your travel trailer.
