Section 3 - Vehicle Identification
Page 3-2
The gross axle weight ratings (GAWR) are based upon the lowest rated
weight carrying capacity of the complete axle assemblies which include the ax-
le, tires, rims, wheels, and suspension. The gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) is the maximum allowable load the vehicle may carry.
Loading which exceeds the GAWR'S or GVWR may cause damage to
your motorhome and will void warranty on affected components.
FEDERAL REGULATIONS REGARDING CERTIFIED
VEHICLE RATINGS
It is the responsibility of the vehicle dealer or owner to maintain the vehi-
cle within Federal Regulations. Changes to vehicle configuration which may
affect gross weight rating, such as addition of axles, changes to tire or wheel
sizes, etc., must be coordinated with Foretravel to ensure compliance with ap-
plicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Any changes which affect
the certified rating on the vehicle identification data plate must be recertified
by the "alterer" of the vehicle by providing new identification plates which in-
clude the revised ratings information. It is the responsibility of the vehicle deal-
er or owner to provide and mount a revised vehicle identification plate for any
configuration changes that they have made to the vehicle. Foretravel, Inc. is not
responsible for any vehicle configuration changes which have not been ap-
proved in writing by officers of Foretravel, Inc.
