Weighing Left Rear 'Corner'
After the rear wheel set has been weighed,
turn the coach around and repeat this process for
the other side.
The load on each wheel or dual-wheel set
should not exceed one-half of the corresponding
GAWR. For example, if the GAWR for the rear
axle is 12,000 lbs., then the load on each rear
dual set (left rear duals or right rear duals)
should not exceed 6,000 lbs.
Tires should be filled to the recommended
air pressure for the highest loaded tire set on that
axle. For example, on the rear axle, if the left
side weighs more than the right, fill the left tires
to the pressure required for that weight, then fill
the right tires to the same pressure as the left
ones.
NOTE: The Hitch Load from a Towed Vehicle or
carrier box must also be counted on the
Rear GAWR and subtracted from the
rear axle cargo capacity.
MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY
The following label is placed in a visible
location in the driver compartment.
BELTED SEATING POSITIONS MAY
EXCEED SLEEPING CAPACITY OF
THIS VEHICLE. SEE OWNER
MANUAL FOR OCCUPANCY AND
WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS.
The number of belted seating positions in
your motor home may exceed the number people
used to determine maximum coach occupancy,
called the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC).
TRAVELING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME
To calculate the CCC, Winnebago uses
vehicle sleeping capacity, however your coach
may be equipped with more belted seating posi-
tions than sleeping positions to give passengers a
choice of seating arrangements. You may use all
of the belted seating positions providing you
stay within your vehicle's GVWR listed on the
Vehicle Certification Label (see Introduction
Section at front of manual). However you use or
load your vehicle, it is your responsibility to
keep the weight within its stated gross vehicle
weight rating.
ROOF LOADING
The roof is capable of carrying some light-
weight articles while the vehicle is in motion. A
roof-mounted luggage carrier designed for this
purpose is available from your dealer. However,
roof load while the vehicle is in motion is not to
exceed 10 pounds per square foot or a maximum
of 100 pounds.
When the vehicle is stationary, a cargo load of
100 pounds plus the weight of a 225 pound per-
son to load the cargo or to conduct inspection and
maintenance is permissible.
Weight added to both the roof and the trailer
hitch contribute to the gross vehicle weight,
which must not exceed the vehicle's GVWR.
CAR OR
TRAILER TOWING
Spartan Chassis
Hitch pulling cap.:
Tongue weight:
The factory installed towing hitch on this
coach is rated to pull a 10,000 lb. load (max.),
however this does not necessarily mean that you
can always tow a 10,000 lb. load. The combined
weight of the loaded coach and the towed vehicle
could exceed the chassis ratings. Do not exceed
either the GVWR, the rear axle GAWR, or the
SECTION 4
10,000 lbs. max
500 lbs. max.
