PREPARING FOR THE ROAD
Before venturing out on to the road with
your motorhome, it is important that you
prepare correctly.
YOUR MOTORHOME
(WEIGHTS EXPLAINED)
MASS IN RUNNING ORDER
The weight of your motorhome as it
leaves the factory, as new with standard
fixtures and fittings, plus an allowance for
driver and 90% fuel.
MAXIMUM TECHNICALLY
PERMISSIBLE LADEN MASS
The maximum weight of the vehicle when
fully laden for use on the road.
USER PAYLOAD
The load margin (payload), this
represents the difference between the
Mass in Running Order and the Maximum
Technically Permissible Laden Mass. It
shows the maximum weight which can be
loaded into your motorhome, covering
items such as food, crockery, cutlery,
clothing, bedding, gas cylinders, etc.
LOADING
It should be noted that even weight
distribution is a major factor in making
your motorhome an easy and pleasant
vehicle to drive. Care should therefore be
taken in balancing the load, ensuring that
heavy items are well spaced and are in as
low a position as possible, for example,
low cupboards and bed boxes.
Do not exceed recommended maximum
loading for your motorhome.
ROOF RACKS
Some models of motorhomes are fitted
with a roof rack and ladder as standard.
Care is needed when using this facility.
We recommend you exercise extreme
caution when loading and unloading.
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO CLIMB
ONTO THE ROOF. DO NOT EXCEED THE
STATED MAXIMUM LOAD. ITEMS FITTED
OTHER THAN STANDARD EQUIPMENT
WILL DEPLETE THE PAYLOAD STATED
IN THIS HANDBOOK.
ROOF LOADING
All motorhomes have a specially
designed roof rack system fitted or
available as an optional extra. The roof of
each motorhome is strengthened to
accommodate the roof rack, however, the
strengthened area only relates to that
contained within the roof rack area, and to
step beyond this area may cause damage
to the roof. The roof rack is capable of
withstanding the average persons weight
e.g. 12 stone/76 kgs.
Static roof loading or top box loading
should be limited to a maximum of 76 kgs
including contents, or the limit set by the
top box manufacturer, which ever is the
lower figure.
