Before the Journey
The weight of the load on the front axle or the rear axle can be calculated with a simple rule of three:
The decisive relation is the distance "A" (in cm) from the front axle to each individual payload weight
"G" (in kg). The length of the vehicle "R" (in cm) also enters into the calculation. The front axle dis-
tance A times the weight G divided by the distance R yields the load on the rear axle. Then the pay-
load weight is subtracted from the rear axle load which was just calculated. If the result is a positive
value, this means that the front axle is relieved of this amount. If the result is a negative value, this
means that the front axle is subject to a load of this amount.
Example calculation
Through calculation of the values for all storage spaces, the correct load can be determined.

V
Take care when stepping onto the roof! There is a danger of slipping on the roof when
the roof is moist or icy.
V
The maximum permitted roof load is 200 kg.
V
The maximum localised load is 90 kg/100 cm

.
V
Secure roof loads. Do not use rubber expanders.
V
Do not place too heavy a load on the roof. Road behaviour deteriorates as the roof
load increases.
V
Access the roof only when a roof rail has been fitted. Always use the ladder at the rear
to climb onto the roof.
V
Only attach roof loads such as surfboards, rubber boats or lightweight canoes on the
roof rack.
V
Observe the overall height of the motorhome when the roof rack is loaded.
V
The driver’s cabin should have a clearly visible notice stating the total height. This
eliminates the need for calculations at bridges and thoroughfares.
