Before you travel...WARNING: Do not add accessories or component parts that are notsafe and appropriate for this product. These changes will effect weightspecifications, void the warranty and adversely effect handling andstability of the unit, as well as accelerate wear to other component parts.Jayco, Inc. DOES NOT provide warranty coverage for equipmentinstalled by the independent, authorized dealer or owner.WARNING: Do not exceed your GVWR. Your recreation vehicle’s loadcapacity is designed by weight, not by volume. You can not necessarilyuse all available space when loading the vehicle.LOADING CARGOAfter you have read and understand the overall weight definitions and limits to your trailer,you are ready to load it for travel. With the excitement of awaiting adventures, everyonewill want to take along everything they might possibly need. This is where careful planningand preparation will help to insure a safe trip. As you develop a routine for loading yourcargo, it may be helpful to utilize checklists and other resources. You will find a list ofitems which are often used at campsites at the end of this chapter. This list will give you aplace to start when preparing your trailer for travel. Keep in mind that your preferences andspecific camping situation will determine items you would eliminate or add to this list.Of most importance, above personal preferences, is the overall amount of cargo packed andthe way it is placed in the trailer. As cargo is placed in the unit, pay particular attention towhere you place it. Follow these rules of thumb:• Observe ALL capacity ratings to avoid problems, and make sure that you never loadyour trailer or tow vehicle in a manner that cause them to exceed the GVWR,GCWR, GAWR (of any axle) or the weight rating of any tire.• Heaviest items must be stored in lower cabinets and storage areas.• Keep the majority of the cargo weight over the axles and toward the front of the unit.• Maintain the proper tongue weight of the trailer. Stay within the target range of10-15% of the overall gross weight (trailer weight plus contents). Fifth-wheel trailerstypically maintain 25% of their overall gross weight (trailer weight and contents) onthe hitch.• Always pack items evenly from side to side to maintain trailer balance.• Make sure that all items are secured in place to prevent shifting during travel.WARNING: Ensure you are loading the unit as evenly as you can forthe best possible handling. All items must be secured to avoid shiftingduring travel.WARNING: If your unit is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leaveitems attached to it while traveling. The ladder has a weight limit of350# when using it to access the top of the unit. Do not exceed this limit.22 Jay Flight Conventional Travel Trailer and Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer
Before you travel...Rear BumperThe rear bumper of your unit is not designed to carry cargo. Items that extend beyond thebumper OR weigh over 100# (45kg) will place undo strain on the bumper. The 100#capacity of your bumper includes the weight of the spare tire that may have been attachedat the factory. Some items may fall within the given weight range, however, may still causedamage. Over time, weight added to your bumper will cause damage from the motioncreated while traveling.In addition, extra weight behind the axle may reduce the hitch weight. This could lead toadverse handling conditions of the towed vehicle from wind gusts and/or passing traffic.Caution: Do not add items to the trailer’s rear bumper. Add-on items will eventuallydamage your bumper. Damage from add-on equipment or improper loading voidsthe Limited Warranty of your trailer.HOLDING TANK(S) AND TRAILER WEIGHTWARNING: We recommend that you DO NOT travel with waste inyour holding tanks. With one or more full or nearly full holding tank(s),the towing characteristics of your trailer could change and may resultin property damage or personal injury.The weight of holding tank contents are not calculated into the cargo carrying capacity ofthe trailer. The extra weight will diminish the cargo capacity available to you. Travelingwith full holding tank(s) could possibly causing you to exceed the gross axle weightrating(s), individual tire ratings and/or the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the unit.Potential damage to suspension components, such as springs, tires and axles, could result.If your trailer’s holding tank(s) are located behind the axles, the weight of the full tank(s)will reduce the hitch weight. Trailer sway and other handling difficulties can be the resultof the hitch weight being too light.If you are dry camping and cannot immediately empty the tank(s), use caution whentowing. Maintain lower speeds for better control of the trailer until you reach the nearestdumping station.Jay Flight Conventional Travel Trailer and Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer 23
