your loaded motorhome to a weigh scale to
determine the actual weight distribution. After
you have done this once, you will have a better
understanding about how to load your vehicle

differently when towing a trailer, and stopping
distances will be longer. Make sure your trailer
is equipped with a braking system and is
properly connected to your motorhome.
When descending a steep or long grade,
reduce speed and shift to a lower gear to
control speed. Avoid prolonged or frequent
application of brakes to prevent overheating
and possible brake system failure. Refer to the
chassis manual in the Motorhome Information
