SECTION 4

TRAVELING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME

4-2

Weighing: There is typically a scale opera-

tor to direct you but the basic routine is to take

three separate weights - front axle, whole vehi-

cle, and rear axle. You will first drive only your

front wheels onto the scale pad, then drive ahead

so that the whole vehicle is on the scale, then

finally pull off until just the rear wheels are on

the pad.

You will receive a weight ‘ticket’ that states

your current Front Gross Axle Weight, Rear

Gross Axle Weight and Gross Vehicle Weight.

You can compare these weights to the weight

ratings listed on your Vehicle Certification Label

to use as a guideline for future loading limits and

weight distribution.

The gross weight of the vehicle should not

exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR) specified on the Vehicle Certification

Label on the rear inner jamb of the drivers door.

(see Introduction Section) The front and rear

axle weight also should not exceed correspond-

ing Axle Weight Rating specified on the Vehicle

Certification Label.

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY

The following label is placed in a visible

location in the driver compartment.

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).

To calculate the CCC, Winnebago uses vehi-

cle sleeping capacity, however your coach may

be equipped with more belted seating positions

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 (in the Introduction

Section). 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

Hitch pulling capacity: ........... 5,000 lbs. max.

Tongue weight: ......................... 350 lbs. max.

The factory installed towing hitch on this

coach is capable of pulling 5,000 lbs. load (max.),

however the vertical (tongue) weight may vary

according to chassis and model combinations. Do

not exceed either the GVWR, the rear axle

GAWR, or the chassis GCWR by the combined

BELTED SEATING POSITIONS MAY

EXCEED SLEEPING CAPACITY OF

THIS VEHICLE. SEE OWNER
