• Limit the tongue ·weight of the trailer or towing device to the
MTW as listed on the ratings tag. Heaviel' tongue weights
can damage your mo(or home frame and body, cause
. unstable driving and handling characteristics, alld will
. restrict your coverage under the Ownercare warramy .
• Donottow a vehicle weighing more than the GTW listed on
the wardrobe aoor tag. Heavier towed loads can cause
braking problems, damage the motor home, cause unstable
driving or handling characteristics, and restrict your cov-
erage under the Ownercare warrgnty. Changing the hitch
receiver'assembly will not increase the tow capacity oj 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 will assure
proper motor home handling stability and make your driving and towing
experience more enjoyable.

your motor home. Exceeding the GVWR, GAWR or
GCWR of your motor home will reduce yourwarranty
protection, can cause undesirable handling charac-
teristics and may create a safety hazard.
