2.3 Loading
Rules for loading:
• Spread the load evenly between the left and
right-hand side of the caravan. Heavy or bulky
objects belong in the lower storage compart-
ments and near the axle.
• If your caravan has a tandem axle: distribute
the centre of weight between the two axles.
• Never focus the load in the caravan to the
rear (danger of swinging back and forth).
• Heavy objects should be stowed securely to
prevent them from slipping.
• Lighter objects (clothing) should be stowed in
the wall cupboards.
• You may not always be able to follow the re-
recommended stowing arrangement, because
storage possibilities are distributed throug
hout the entyre interior of the caravan. If ne-
cessary, stow heavy objects in the base
vehicle.
• Store baggage in the interior in cupboards
and storage compartments.
• Secure doors and aps.
• Check the technically permissible maximum
weight and the axle load(s) after you have
nished loading.
The gross vehicle weight rating in-
dicated in the vehicle documents as
well as the permitted drawbar load
may not be exceeded. Also note the
permissible drawbar load of your
base vehicle.
The lower the caravan's centre of gra-
vity, the better its driving performance
and response in curves.
The technically permissible maximum
weight and the permissible drawbar
load must not be exceeded.
Do not store additional loads of more
than 30 kg in the rear storage locker
compartment (Premium).
