The camper’s center of gravity should fall within the center of gravity zone for
your vehicle’s cargo load.
You must weigh any accessories, trailer hitches or other equipment you add
to your vehicle. Then, subtract this extra weight from the CWR,
This extra
weight may shotten the center of gravity zone for your vehicle. Your dealer
can help you with this.
If your slide-in camper and its load weigh less than the CWR, the center of
gravity zone for your vehicle may be larger.
Your dealer can help you make
a good vehicle-camper match. He’ll also help
you determine your CWR.
After you’ve loaded your vehicle and camper, drive to a weigh station and
weigh on the front and rear wheels separately. This will tell you the loads on
your
axles. The loads on the front and rear axles shouldn’t be more th\
an
either
of the GAWRs. The total of the axie..loads should not be more than
the GVWR.
Open your driver’s door and look at the door lock pillar f\
or the CertificationKire label to find out your GWAR and GWVR.
If you’ve gone over your weight ratings, move or take out some\
things until
all the weights fall below the ratings. Of course, you should always tie down
any loose items when you load your vehicle or camper.
When you install and load your slide-in camper, check the manufacturer’s
instructions.
