TOWING YOUR AIRSTREAM

LOADING

Below is a sample of the weight information chart provided in all Airstream vehicles. B This information can be found in your vehicle on the back of the first wardrobe door on

the curbside of the vehicle about 60” up from the floor.

See specification section in this manual for definition and weight pertaining to this label.

When loading heavy objects such as tools, skillets, irons, and boxes of canned goods, etc. keep them as low as possible - preferably on the floor. Try to hold additional weight behind the axle to a minimum.

Bumper Mounted Receiver

Your trailer may have a bumper mounted receiver. This receiver is designed for after market bicycle racks and cargo carriers using a 2” receiver. It has a 100 pound maximum rating. This maximum rating applies to the rack/platform and the items they hold.

Warning: Never exceed the 100 lbs. rating on the bumper mounted receiver. Do not use the receiver for towing. Overloading behind the axle will tend to magnify any sway that may occur when passing trucks or in gusty wind. Overloading behind the axle and weight mounted on the rear bumper over the 100 lbs. maximum may turn what may have been an almost unnoticeable sway into a severe sway you may not he able to control and could cause structural damage to your trailer.

CAUTION: Damage to your trailer caused by overloading on the rear is considered abuse, and is not covered by warranty.
