Here is an example
of
proper truck and camper match:
A.
Camper Center
of
Gravity
B.
Recommended Center
of
Gravity Location Zone
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 or other equipment that
you add
to
your vehicle. Then, subtract this extra weight
from the CWR. This extra weight may shorten the
center
of
gravity zone
of
your vehicle. Your dealer can
help
you
with
this.
If
your slide-in camper and its load weighs 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
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 Cel-tificationflire
label to find
out
your GAWR and GVWR.
If
you’ve gone over
your
weight ratings,
move
or
take
out
some things
until
all the weight
f;llls
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.
