Serenity / Libero Motorhome
Total vehicle load should NOT exceed the respective maximum GVWR/GAWR/GCWR of the chassis.

Towing

Towing a trailer can affect the handling, durability, performance and economy of your Motorhome. The factory installed
certified class 3 towing hitch is rated for:
Maximum hitch or tongue weight
Maximum trailer weight
The combined weight of the Motorhome and any towed vehicle must not exceed the Gross Combined Weight Rating
(GCWR). Also, the combined weight of the Motorhome and any towed vehicle must not exceed the Motorhome's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) as listed on the vehicle certification
label.
(GCWR)
Serenity - 15,250 lb (6917 kg)
Libero - 16,000 lb (7257 kg)
To be sure of the correct balance in weight, you should take your loaded Motorhome to a weighscale to determine
actual weight distribution. After you have done this once, you will have a better idea on how to load in the future.
Remember, your Motorhome will handle differently with a trailer in tow. Stopping distances will be longer. Make sure
your trailer is equipped and connected to your Motorhome with the proper brake system. 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 failure of the braking system. (See chassis manual for further information.)

Auxiliary Vehicle Towing

If you are planning to tow another vehicle or a trailer with your Motorhome, your dealer will provide you with the
necessary information and advice.
For safe towing and vehicle handling, maintain proper Motorhome and trailer weight distribution. The total weight of
the Motorhome and the towed vehicle or trailer must not exceed the GCVW rating as stated on the vehicle certification
label.
