SECTION 4

TRAVELING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME

4-2

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY

The following label is placed in a visible

location in the driver compartment.

The number of belted seating positions in

your motor home may exceed the number people

used to determine maximum coach occupancy,

called the Net Carrying Capacity (NCC) in the

U.S. or Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) in Can-

ada.

To calculate the NCC or CCC, Winnebago

uses vehicle sleeping capacity, however your

coach may be equipped with more belted seat-

ing positions than sleeping positions to give pas-

sengers a choice of seating arrangements. You

may use all of the belted seating positions pro-

viding you stay within your vehicle’s GVWR

listed on the Vehicle Certification Label (see

page 0-3). However you use or load your vehi-

cle, it is your responsibility to keep the weight

within its stated gross vehicle weight rating.

ROOF LOADING

The roof is capable of carrying some light-

weight articles while the vehicle is in motion. A

roof-mounted luggage carrier designed for this

purpose is available from your dealer. However,

roof load while the vehicle is in motion is not to

exceed 10 pounds per square foot or a maximum

of 100 pounds.

When the vehicle is stationary, a cargo load of

100 pounds plus the weight of a 225 pound per-

son to load the cargo or to conduct inspection and

maintenance is permissible.

Weight added to both the roof and the trailer

hitch contribute to the gross vehicle weight,

which must not exceed the vehicle’s GVWR.

CAR OR

TRAILER TOWING

Freightliner Chassis

Hitch pulling cap.: 5,000 lbs. max

Tongue weight: 500 lbs. max.

The factory installed towing hitch on this

coach is rated to pull a 5,000 lb. load (max.),

however this does not necessarily mean that you

can always tow a 5,000 lb. load. The combined

weight of the loaded coach and the towed vehicle

could exceed the chassis ratings. Do not exceed

either the GVWR, the rear axle GAWR, or the

chassis GCWR. See preceding items “Loading

the Vehicle” and “Weighing Your Loaded Vehi-

cle” for explanation of these weight ratings. Al-

ways be aware of the loaded weight of your

coach and the weight of any towed vehicle.

Because of individual vehicle use and loading

habits, we recommend weighing the vehicle

while fully loaded to avoid exceeding any of the

listed Gross Weight Ratings. See “Vehicle Certi-

fication Label” on page 0-3 for information on

gross weight ratings.

Towing will affect vehicle handling, durabili-

ty and fuel economy. Exceeding any of the listed

Gross Weight Ratings will result in unacceptable

overall vehicle performance. Maximum safety

and satisfaction when towing depends on proper

use of correct equipment. A hitch bar of appropri-

ate steel and size should be selected to mate with

the Winnebago towing receptor.

Installation of a proper trailer brake system is

recommended. Check state regulations on trailer

weight and trailer brake requirements to be sure

you select the right equipment before towing.

Before descending a steep or long grade when

towing a trailer, reduce speed and shift into a

lower gear to control vehicle speed. Avoid pro-

longed or frequent application of brakes which

could cause overheating and brake failure.

BELTED SEATING POSITIONS MAY

EXCEED SLEEPING CAPACITY OF

THIS VEHICLE. SEE OWNER
