You must consider other important weight factors if you
expect to pull a trailer, tow dolly, or another vehicle behind
your motor home. These factors have limitations just like the
weight factors above. These factors are:
»
GCWR-Gross Combined Weight Rating
»
GTW-Gross Towed Weight
»
MTW-Maximum Tongue Weight
»
GAWR-Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating-Rear axles or
axles (if equipped with tag axles)
The ratings for these factors are all listed on the wardrobe
door tag.
If you expect to pull a vehicle with your motor home, there
are additional guidelines that. you must follow:
»
Do not use a load equalizing hitch. It could cause struc-
tural damage to the motor home frame components.
»
Limit the tongue weight of the trailer or towing device to
the MTW as listed on the ratings tag. Heavier tongue
weights can damage your motor home frame and body,
cause unstable driving and handling characteristics, and
will restrict your coverage under the Ownercare War-
ranty.
»
Do not tow a vehicle weighing more than the GTW listed
on the wardrobe door tag. Heavier towed loads can
cause braking problems, damage the motor home struc-
ture or drive train, cause unstable driving or handling
characteristics, and restrict your coverage under the
Ownercare Warranty. Changing the trailer hitch will not
increase the tow capacity of the motor home .

and safety chains on
towed vehicles. Federal

governing towing vary
widely. Consult the
proper authorities in the
states or provinces
through Which you will
be traveling.

Do not exceed the
rated load of the motor
home, or the rated load
of any axle. Exceeding
the GVWR, GAWR or
GCWR of your motor

safety hazard.
