Fleetwood 1997 Discovery Owner's Manual page 41

»
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 Warranty.
»
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, cause
unstable driving or handling characteristics, and restrict
your coverage under the Ownercare Warranty. Changing
the hitch receiver will not increase the tow capacity of
the motor home.
The way your motor home handles will be affected by the
way the towed unit is loaded. If the tongue weight is too light
in relation to the weight of the loaded tow vehicle or trailer,
handling problems can result. Careful load planning and safe
experimentation with different loading patterns can help
improve motor home handling stability and make your driving
and towing experience more enjoyable.
