Balance Weight
One of the main causes of RV accidents is having an overloaded vehicle. Improper load distribution affects your steering and your braking capacity. Additionally, it will affect the amount of gas it requires to pull your toy hauler. It can slow the reaction time of the driver due to the stressful driving condition. John Anderson, Founder of RV Safety & Education Foundation, wrote, “After weighing more than 30,000 RVs during a thirteen-year span, I can tell you with confidence that a significant number of motorhomers are traveling down the road on overloaded tires that could fail at any time, with potentially catastrophic results.”
How do you know if your RV is overloaded?
Begin by checking your owner’s manual for weight limitations. The GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is the most weight you can carry safely. Then you should weigh your RV, check the weight on each tire, and include a check on the tire ratings. Bear in mind that higher rated tires will not prevent undue stress on the rest of the vehicle. If you’re still uncertain about weight, try taking your loaded rig to a public scale where you can weigh it for a small sum. Make certain you weigh from front to back, and from side to side.
What can you do to lighten the load?
It’s amazing how much stuff you can accumulate over a long period of time. Go through your toy hauler and honestly answer the question, “Do I really need ALL of this?” Take three large trash bags to help you downsize. One bag is for things to go to the dumpster, one is for the bare necessities that you need on the road, and one is to go to your garage sale-or to give away.
When you are ready to put things back in order, keep a list of what you have and where you have it stored. Do your best to balance the weight of your things in the trailer. Make sure everything is battened down for safety. Any time that you add to or remove from your toy hauler, strive to balance the load.
Remember to put safety first
The human tendency is to think that if we’ve gotten away with what we’ve always done before, that we will continue to be “all right” no matter what. Don’t fool yourself. Determine now that you will begin to practice the safe habit of knowing the proper weight for your toy hauler [http://www.pedatarvcenter.com/blog/accessories-for-your-toy-hauler/], and sticking to it.
Finding the right RV for your family is important, and does not have to be difficult or beyond your budget. To learn about available used motorhomes and other recreational vehicles, visit http://www.pedatarvcenter.com, call 1-866-545-8314, or email: sales@pedatarvcenter.com.
