MOTOR HOME LOADING
Your motor home chassis is designed to carry a certain maximum load. This load includes everything: the weight of the empty motor home itself,
all occupants and their belongings, fuel, fresh water, waste water and anything else that may be in
or
attached to the motor home.
The maximum load for which the motor home is
de-
signed
is
called the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT
RAT­ING (GVWR). Modifications to your motor home, i.e., changing tires
or
spring load capacities, will not in any
way increase the GVWR.
Another critical weight factor is the
GROSS AXLE
.
WEIGHT RATING (GAWR). This is the maximum weight a specific axle is designed to carry. Each axle has its own GAWR. The GAWR's do not necessarily add up to the GVWR.
The GVWR and the GAWR for your motor home are shown on the certification tag posted on the driver's door or
in the driver's compartment.
WARNING
DO
NOT
EXCEED THE RATED
LOAD
OF
THE MOTOR HOME, OR THE RATED
LOAD
OF
ANY AXLE. EXCEEDING THE GVWR OR
GAWR
OF
YOUR MOTOR HOME
WILL
RE-
DUCE YOUR
WARRANTY PROTECTION,
CAN
CAUSE
UNDESIRABLE
HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS AND MAY CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD.
In
addition to knowing the overall weight that can
be safely loaded in or attached to the motor home, you must know how to distribute the weight sothat correct amounts of weight are placed on the axles. The allowable
carry­ing capacity of the motor home is found by weighing the motor home empty, and subtracting this weight from the GVWR.
Carrying
Capacity
During the design and development of Fleetwood motor homes, the number and size of storage compartments,
. the liquid tank capacities and number of belted seating
positions are maximized for value and convenience.
If
7
ON THE ROAD
you fill all liquid tanks to capacity, fill all storage compart­ments and cupboards to maximum volume and fill
all available seating positions with passengers, the motor home will
be
overloaded. According to National High­way Traffic Safety Administration figures, a vehicle occupant weighs
150 pounds. Additionally, each gallon
of gasoline weighs six pounds
(6.0 Ibs.) and each gallon
of water weighs over eight pounds (8.3
Ibs.).
You
are responsible for analyzing the conditions under
which the motor home will
be
used for each trip. The
number of passengers and placement of cargo will
affect the amount of water and cargo that you can carry (See
"Loading
Tips").
For convenience, the passen-
ger capacity for camping use and the passenger
capac­ity for day use are shown on a permanent label in the driver's area or adjacent to the main entry door. The passenger
capacity for camping provides reasonable cargo capacity for trips taking more than one day. The passenger capacity for day use provides less cargo capacity for trips or activities not involving' overnight stays. For example, it may be necessary to reduce the amount of water carried and unload some cargo items normally carried for camping in order to provide carrying capacity for the additional day use passengers.
The number of seat belt locations may be greater than the number of passengers permitted by the label. These extra locations, if provided, are to permit a choice of seats while travelling.
it
is not safe to exceed the labeled passenger capacity unless the axle loadings and total weight
are
checked against their ratings on a public
scale.
(See
"Determining
And
Distributing
Your
Load").
Thoughtful consideration of the weight placed in the motor home can yield important benefits:
Greater choice of seating and storage
Safe operation, including improved handling
characteristics and ride comfort
Better fuel mileage and reduced tire wear
NOTE: Carrying capacities
of
your
motor
home
are specified on a label affixed to the inside
of
8
a wardrobe
door.
The
label includes all factory
installed options.
If
other equipment such
as
leveling jacks; awnings, roof pods, etc., are instal/ed after
the
motor home leaves
the
fac-
tory,
the
weight
of
these items must be sub-
tracted from the total
of

cargo carrying capacities.
If
you tow a trailer,
the tongue weight
of
the
trailer must be sub-
tracted
from
the
total
of
the
passenger and
cargo carrying capacities.
Loading Tips
Do not load heavy items
in
upper cabinets.
Secure and brace items so they won't move
during travel, thereby shifting the load.
Do not load heavy items near either end of the
motor home or on the rear bumper.
Adjust cargo storage to keep the side to side
wheel loads
as
equal a possible.
Carry only as much water as needed for travel
use
or
to balance the load.
Whenever possible, empty the holding tanks
before traveling.
WARNING
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE BY AD­DITION OF RACKS NOT SPECIFIED

Make
a loading diagram of your properly loaded motor
home.
It
will help you locate where specific items are stored, and will help speed the loading process. Store emergency items
in
a readily accessible location. In­clude a fire extinguisher, tools, first aid kit, rain gear, flashlight, highway warning devices, and an electric cord with light.
WARNING
DO NOT STORE OR CARRY LP GAS CON­TAINERS, GASOLINE,
.OR
OTHER FLAM-
MABLE
LIQUIDS INSIDE YOUR MOTOR
HOME. THE CONTAINERS MAY LEAK.
Determining And Distributing
Your
Motor
Home Load
If the loaded weight of your motor home exceeds the
GVWR, you will have to remove items to bringtheweight
down to
or
below the GVWR. If the loaded axle weight
on any axle exceeds the GAWR, you
will have to
redistribute cargo to bring the weight down to or below
the GAWR.
Weighing Your Loaded Motor Home
Refer to your local directory to locate. a public weigh station. The following weighing procedure
will help you determine whether your loaded motor home (complete with cargo, fluids, passengers, and driver) is within GAWR and GVWR limits. When you arrive at a weigh station, the attendant will guide you through the correct positioning of the motor home on the scales.
1.
Center the front wheels on the scale platform and take
a reading. This is the front GrossAxle Weight (Reading
1
).
2.
Center the entire vehicle (all axles) on the scale and
take a reading. This is the Gross Vehicle Weight (Read-
ing 2).
3.
Center the rear wheels on the platform and take a reading. This reading is the rear Gross Axle Weight (Reading 3).
4.
Compare Reading 2 with the GVWR of your vehicle. If the reading exceeds the GVWR rating, you will have to reduce the total vehicle load.
5.
If Reading 2 is less than the GVWR of your vehicle, check Readings 1 and 3 to verify that each is less than its respective GAWR.
If either exceeds the GAWR,
redistribute the load and reweigh.
6.
For a tag axle, center both rear axles
on
the scale platform and take a reading. Compare with the sum of both the rear (tag) and the intermediate (drive) GAWRs.
Periodically reweigh your motor home. Loading and weight patterns
will change according to use.
TIRES
Your motor home is equipped with truck tires. Under normal circumstances and with proper maintenance, you should receive thousands of miles of trouble-free service.
Tire
Inflation
For safety and maximum tire life, proper inflation pres­sure must be maintained. Properly inflated tires also contribute to
overall motor home stability and safety.
Refer to the tire section
in
your chassis operator's
manual for information
on
maintenance, inflation pres-
sure, and tire care.
WARNING
FOR
SAFETY AND MAXIMUM TIRE LIFE, CHECK TIRE PRESSURES (INCLUDING THE SPARE) OFTEN.
PAY
SPECIAL ATTENTION
TO INSIDE
REAR DUALS. ALWAYS CHECK PRESSURE WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AND DO NOT BLEED AIR OUT OF WARM TIRES. FOLLOW THE TIRE PRESSURE INSTRUC­TIONS IN
THE CHASSIS
OPERATOR'S
MANUAL.
NOTE: Check the wheel covers periodically. They could work
loose,
during driving.

Tire Replacement
Replacement tires must be the same size, and have at least the same weight carrying capacity
as
the original
equipment.
All tires of the same size and rating may not have the same weight carrying capacity. Consult your tire dealer. The original equipmenttiressupplied
on
your motor home have weight carrying capacities to support gross axle weight ratings (GAWR)
as
stated
on
the
Federal Certification
Tag
located
on
the sidewall near
the driver's seat.
If You Get a Flat Tire In
case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy brake appli-
cation. Gradually decrease speed. Hold steering wheel
firmly and move slowly to a safe, off-road place.
Park on
a firm
level spot, turn off the ignition, and turn
on
the
hazard flasher system. Spare Tire Carrier
On some models, the spare tire is located
in
an exterior
storage compartment.
On other models, the spare tire carrier is located under the rear of the motor home between the frame rails.

Limit the tongue weight of trailer or towing device to a maximum of
250 pounds. Heavier tongue weights can damage your motor home rear frame and body, cause unstable driving and handling characteristics, and will restrict your rights under the Ownercare warranty.
Do not tow a
vehicle weighing more than 3500 pounds, or
which would result
in
exceeding the GCWR recom­mended by the chassis manufacturer. Heavier vehicles can cause braking problems, damage the hitch, the motor home structure or drive train, cause
unstable driving or handling characteristics, and/or restrict your rights under warranty. Changing the trailer hitch
will not increase the tow capacity of the motor home even if the chassis
is
rated at a higher level.
The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is listed
on the wardrobe door tag. The GCWR is the maximum allowable weight of both the loaded motor home and towed vehicle. Exceeding the GCWR
will cause dam-
age to your motor home drive train
or
chassis, unstable driving and handling characteristics, and will reduce your warranty protection.
