You must weigh any accessories or other equipment you add to your vehicle.
Then, subtract this extra weight from the CWR. This extra weig\
ht may shorten
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 then 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 than
either of the GAWRs. The total of the axle loads should not be more than
the GVWR.
Open your driver’s door and look at the Certificationnire label
to find out your
GWAR and GVWR.
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.
