Cargo Carrying Capacity). Please reference your vehicle's Federal Certification Label for actual
weight ratings.
These ratings are shown on the Federal Certification Label and the Federal Weight Label. They
are MAXIMUMS for a fully loaded vehicle. You must compare the GVWR and the GAWR to the
actual loaded weight of your motorhome and make adjustments if necessary. The GAWRs do
not necessarily add up to the GVWR.
their respective maximum weight ratings.
A properly loaded vehicle is safer and easier to drive. Distribute your cargo evenly from side-
to-side and front-to-back. Heavier items should be stowed on or near the floor and be as
centrally located as possible. They should be secured so they cannot slide during a panic stop
causing damage. Lighter items can be stored in overhead cabinets. Remember to leave space
and weight allowance for souvenirs and other items you may purchase during your travels.
A properly loaded vehicle can help you conserve fuel and prevent excessive wear on your
vehicles' automotive system.
