The height of the motorhome is measured from the ground to the top of the highest standard component
and is based on the UVW of a typically equipped motorhome. The actual height of your motorhome may vary
depending on chassis, equipment, build variations or tire pressures. It is important that you know the actual
height of your motorhome.

2. The load capacity of your motorhome is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use
all available space when loading your motorhome.

3. Tank capacities are based on measurements prior to tank installation. Slight variations may occur due to tank
shrinkage or expansion.

4. Actual filled propane tank capacity is 80% of listed capacity due to overfilling prevention device on tank.

5. Exterior storage capacity is approximate. Total volume may vary.

Before beginning an extended trip, ensure you are
thoroughly familiar with your motorhome’s condition,
components, features, appliances and limitations.
Take ample time to read the operator’s manual and the
material in the Motor Information Kit, and ensure you
understand the operation of all the components.

Adequate preparation is essential for an enjoyable and

do what you want, where you want and when you want.
The time you spend getting to know your motorhome
will enhance your enjoyment, maximize your experience
and contribute to a more successful trip.

MOTORHOME LOADING AND

WEIGHTS

The components of your motorhome are designed to
perform if the motorhome is not loaded in excess of
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the maximum
front and rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) or
the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). These
ratings are listed on the Canada and U.S. Department
of Transport labels located on the driver’s pedestal
behind the skirting.

The GVWR is the maximum permissible weight of the
fully loaded motorhome.

The Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) is the weight of
your motorhome as manufactured at the factory with
full fuel, engine oil and coolants.

The Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) (Canada) is equal to
the GVWR minus each of the following: UVW, full fresh
(potable) water weight (including water heater), full
LP gas weight, and Sleeping Capacity Weight Rating
(SCWR).

The Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity (OCCC)
is equal to the GVWR, minus UVW, plus full LP gas
weight. In other words, OCCC is the amount of weight
in occupants, cargo, water, and trailer tongue weight

that can be added to the motorhome without exceeding
the GVWR. Refer to the Certification Labels Samples
section on page 7 for visual appearance and relevant
locations in the motorhome

The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the
maximum allowable loaded weight of the motorhome
and any towed vehicle.

The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is the value
specified as the load carrying capacity of a single axle
system, as measured at the tire-ground interface.

To determine that your motorhome is properly loaded,
drive the fully loaded vehicle to a scale and weigh as
follows:

Drive only the front wheels onto the scale to obtain

1.
the front gross axle weight.

2. Next, place the entire vehicle (both axles) onto the
scale to obtain the gross vehicle weight.

3. Drive forward until only the rear wheels are on the
scale, and obtain the rear gross axle weight.
To obtain the corner weight for your motorhome,

4.
drive each tire individually onto the scale and record
the weight.

Compare the gross vehicle weight with the GVWR
on the label. If the gross vehicle weight exceeds the
GVWR, you must reduce the total vehicle load. If the
gross vehicle weight is less than the GVWR on the label,
check the front and rear gross axle weights against the
front and rear GAWRs on the label. If either axle weight
exceeds the GAWR for that axle, redistribute the load
to ensure that loads on front and rear axles are within
the required limits.

Load heavier items as centrally and as low as possible.
Store lighter items in cabinets, closets and drawers.
Secure luggage or similar cargo inside your motorhome
to prevent it from shifting and causing damage or injury.

$ ᘐ CAUTION

To t a l ve h i c l e l o a d m u s t NOT exceed the maximum
GVWR/GAWR/GCWR of the chassis.

TOWING

Towing a trailer can affect the handling, durability,
performance and fuel economy of your motorhome. The
factory-installed class III towing hitch is rated as follows:

A. 300 lb (136 kg) - maximum hitch or tongue weight
B. 3000 lb (1360 kg) - maximum trailer weight.

The combined weight of the motorhome and any towed
vehicle must not exceed the Gross Combined Weight
Rating (GCWR). Also, the combined weight of the
motorhome and any towed vehicle hitch weight must not
exceed the motorhome’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or its rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) as
listed on the vehicle certification label.

To ensure the correct weight balance, take your loaded
motorhome to a weigh scale to determine the actual
weight distribution. After you have done this once, you
will have a better understanding about how to load your
vehicle in the future.

Remember, your motorhome will handle differently
when towing a trailer, and stopping distances will be
longer. Make sure your trailer is equipped with a braking
system and is properly connected to your motorhome.

AUXILIARY TOWING VEHICLE

If you are planning to tow another vehicle or a trailer
with your motorhome, contact your local department
of transportation for towing information.

$ ᘐ CAUTION

For safe towing and vehicle handling, maintain
proper motorhome and trailer weight distribution.
The total weight of the motorhome and the towed
vehicle must not exceed the GCVW rating as
stated on the vehicle certification label.

It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that
motorhome loading specifications and limits are not
exceeded. Always weigh and reload if required. Keep
all frame members level or the tow hitch angled slightly
upward for the best results. Be familiar with and comply
with all applicable laws and regulations.

Always provide lights on the towed vehicle by connecting
to the 7-pin plug on the rear of the motorhome. This plug
will provide power to the lights for brakes, flashers, turn
signals and running lights.

When descending a steep or long grade, reduce
speed and shift to a lower gear to control speed. Avoid
prolonged or frequent application of brakes to prevent
overheating and possible brake system failure. Refer to
the chassis manual in the Motorhome Information Kit
for further information.

PREGNANCY

Pregnant occupants of the motorhome should wear
the lap belts low on their torso and should position the
shoulder strap diagonally across their chest. Do not
position the shoulder strap against the neck. Wearing
a seat or shoulder/lap belt properly will protect both
the mother and the unborn child.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Child restraint systems are legally required in many
jurisdictions in North America. Statistics prove that
children not secured with a certified and appropriately
sized child restraint system experience more severe
injuries than those who are properly restrained. The
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (and
Canadian equivalent), mandates anchors and tethers
for child restraint systems in passenger vehicles, but
these NHTSA rules do NOT apply to your motorhome.
Therefore, your motorhome is not equipped with any
anchor or tether restraint system for use with child
restraint seats. In evaluating and providing the safest
conditions for your young passengers, you must take
into account the following considerations:

In accordance with applicable law, your motorhome
is not equipped with any anchor or tether system
on any of its forward facing seats.
Obtain a child restraint that is labeled as certified to
