DRIVING & SAFETY — 2
Four Corner Weighing (Example)
NOTE:
Following scale readings and Gross Axle
Weight Ratings are fictitious. Actual
scale readings and Gross Axle Weight
Ratings will vary with model and
options.
The motorhome must be weighed fully
loaded to obtain accurate scale readings and
to determine the proper tire pressure. All slide
rooms must be in retracted position.
Take the rear axle Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) and divide it by two.
Example: Rear axle GAWR taken from
the motorhome Vehicle Certication
Label is 14,500 lbs. Divide the gure by
2, using chart below, record 7,250 lbs. on
Scale B and D, line 1.
Weigh the driver side rear corner (Scale
B) and record weight on chart Scale B,
line 2. Example: 4,400 lbs.
Weigh the passenger side rear corner
(Scale D) and record weight on chart
Scale D, line 2. Example: 4,100 lbs.
Add chart Scale B and D, lines 1, for
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
and record on chart under Totals.
Example: 14,500 lbs.
Add chart Scale B and D, lines 2, for
actual Gross Axle Weight (GAW) and
record on chart under Totals. Example:
8,500 lbs.
Actual Gross Axle Weight (GAW).
Example: 8,500 lbs., is not to exceed
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
Example: 14,500 lbs.

Refer to the Example
Tire Chart (Tire size 255/70R 22.5).
Use the highest actual weight, Scale B
or D, line 2. Example 4,400
lbs. Determine the proper tire
pressure for each tire using the
Load Ination chart. Example:
95 psi or stamp on the sidewall
of the tire.
Repeat above procedures to
determine front axle Scale A
and C, tire pressures.
WARNING:
Improperly inflated or
overloaded tires can cause
a blowout. An overloaded
axle can cause a component
failure of the suspension
system. Tire blowout
or broken suspension
components can lead to loss
of vehicle control resulting in
property damage, personal
injury or death.
