Use the rear edge of the load oor for measurement
purposes. The recommended location for the cargo

point where the mass of a body is concentrated
and, if suspended at that point, would balance the

gure, the weight of camper cargo, and the weight
of passengers in the camper. The total cargo
load should not exceed the truck’s cargo weight
