Truck-Camper Loading Information - GMC Sierra 2005 Owner's Manual

Truck-Camper Loading Information

This label is inside your glove box. It will tell you if
your vehicle can carry a slide-in camper, how much of a
load your vehicle can carry, and how to correctly
spread out your load. Also, it will help you match the
right slide-in camper to your vehicle.
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo
load of your vehicle is the weight of the camper, plus
the following:
•
Everything else added to the camper after it left
the factory
•
Everything in the camper
•
All the people inside
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It doesn't
include the weight of the people inside. But, you
can figure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle's CWR.
Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information label in
glove box for dimensions A and B as shown in the
following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load floor for measurement
purposes. The recommended location for the cargo
center of gravity is at point C for the CWR. It is the point
where the mass of a body is concentrated and, if
suspended at that point, would balance the front
and rear.
