Section 3: Pre-Travel Information
If there is a difference in the weights on one side of the vehicle as compared to weights on
the other side, components (tires, wheels, brakes, springs, etc.) on the heavier side may be
overloaded, although the total axle load is within the GAWR.
See the
Weight Terms and Loading Your RV
sections for important information on how tow-
ing a vehicle affects the motorhome weight.
It is important to redistribute the load to avoid component failure as well as to
improve the handling characteristics of the vehicle.
Dump the gray and black water holding tanks before traveling to avoid carry-
ing unnecessary weight. Full tanks can affect your fuel consumption, and de
-
pending on tank location, can affect your vehicle handling characteristics. If
you cannot immediately empty your holding tanks, reduce your vehicle speed
until you reach a dumping station.
