ON THE ROAd
As the operator of this motor home, you bear the sole respon-
sibility for proper, safe loading. This section will guide you
through the steps necessary to properly and safely load your
vehicle.
Your inotor home chassis is designed to carry a specific
maximum weight. This weight includes everything: the
weight of the empty motor home itself, all occupants and
their belongings, fuel, fresh water, waste water and anything
else that may be in or attached to the motor home.
Before discussing loading and weighing, we need to explain
some common weight terms. We'll use abbreviations in our
discussion. These terms are:
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating):
This is the maximum allowable load that this motor
. home was designed to carry. Modifications to your
motor home, such as installing bigger tires, will not in
any way increase this weight rating. The GVWR is
shown on the Federal certification tag posted on the left
interior sidewall near the driver's station.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating):
This is the maximum allowable weight a specific axle
and brake system is designed to carry. Each axle has its
own GAWR. When you add the GAWRs, they will not
necessarily add up to the GVWR. The GA WR is also
shown on the Federal certification tag posted on the left
interior sidewall near the driver's seat.
