Section 3: Pre-Travel Information
Rear Bumper
Do not add items to the recreation vehicle rear bumper. Add-on items will
eventually damage your bumper. Damage caused by such aftermarket
equipment installation or improper loading voids the Towable Limited
Warranty.
The rear bumper of your RV is not designed to carry cargo. Items that extend beyond the
bumper OR weigh over 100 lbs. (45kg) will place undo strain on the bumper. The 100 lb.
bumper capacity includes the weight of the spare tire (if so equipped).
NOTE:Some items may fall within the given weight range, (IE:
bike racks) however, they can still cause damage. In addition,
extra weight behind the axle may reduce the hitch weigh which can
adversely affect handling.
Camping Trailer Roof
Do not attempt to raise the roof with cargo secured to it.
Do not add or install any aftermarket equipment to the roof or store any
items on the roof. Adding equipment or storing items on the roof may
result in damage to the roof and/or roof components.
The maximum weight of equipment secured to the roof (in the travel mode) must not exceed
350 lbs. The load capacity of the roof must not be exceeded. It is your responsibility to
know the weight of any installed or loaded aftermarket equipment (added equipment will
reduce the available cargo capacity). Additional items secured to the roof of your camping
trailer must be added into the overall RV weight.
The maximum weight that the roof can lift is 175 lbs. for power lift systems and 250 lbs.
for manual lift systems (this includes aftermarket equipment such as a bike rack, canopy, air
conditioner, boat rack, etc.)
Never mount a storage pod directly to the roof. It is necessary to provide a rack system
that secures to the outer edges of the roof to support and evenly distribute the weight of the
storage pod. Consult your dealer for proper installation.
Never walk on the roof. The roof is not designed to accommodate the weight, or damage
that can occur from walking on the roof.
