BEFORE YOU TRAVEL...
WEIGHTS AND CARGO CAPACITY
The safety of your travel will be affected by your understanding of weights and cargo
distribution for your trailer. Read, understand and follow all information related to the
weight of your trailer. We provide the following labels on your trailer (copies are printed
here):
• The “Federal Certification”
label (Fig. 1) is affixed to the
roadside front corner of your
trailer. It lists the vehicle
weights as well as the tire and
axle rating information.
• The “Trailer Weight
Information” label (Fig. 2) is
typically located inside a
lower cabinet close to the
entrance door. This label is
critical in understanding
trailer weight definitions.
Please read, understand and
follow all of these definitions.
In addition to the label
information, the GAWR is
the maximum weight rating
that component parts of each
axle are designed to support
(i.e. tires, brakes, springs,
axle). Information that seems
unclear should be discussed
with your independent,
authorized dealer.
The weights of your unit are the
model’s dry weights with
standard equipment. It is critical
that you do not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
of your trailer. As you begin to
load your personal cargo,
remember that what you load as
well as options that have been
added will affect the overall
weight. Never exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating of your
unit.
