Never exceed the manufacturer’s weight ratings.  

These limits are in place for a reason. Only bring things on the trip that you will actually need. 

Never estimate the RV’s weight. 

It is worth the small fee to have your RV weighed at a local weighing station. 

Distribute the cargo evenly. 

Putting too much weight on one side can cause a rollover during a sharp turn. 

Get in the habit of good housekeeping. 

Regularly clean out the RV to remove unneeded items, such as garbage, unused food and out-of-season items, such as skis in the summer and lawn chairs in the winter. 

Store heavy items low and light items up high. 

The idea is to keep the RV’s center of gravity as low as possible, which provides more stability while driving.
