Maytag 2006 owner manual Hitch Ball Height

Page 99

Gross Vehicular Weight Rating (GVWR): is the maximum permissible weight of this trailer when fully loaded. It includes all weight at the trailer axle (s) and tongue or pin. Unit Base Vehicle Weight (UBW): is the dry weight of the base unit with bedroom group and w/o options or fluids.

Net Carrying Capacity (NCC): is equal to GVWR minus UBW.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): is the value specified as the load carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire-ground interfaces.

GAWR Gross Axle Weight Ratings are located on the manufacturing tag that is posi- tioned on the roadside side sheet of your travel trailer.

* Hitch Ball Height

The proper height will vary according to the weight you carry and the tires you use. However, checking the height on your trailer is relatively easy:

1.With trailer on fairly level ground measure from ground to bottom of frame, front and rear.

2.Adjust front jack until measurements are equal.

3.Now measure from ground to the inside top of ball coupler. This figure is the hitch height. The hitch ball is then usually set ½” to 1” higher, according to the spring rate of your tow vehicle, to allow for it to settle when the trailer is hitched up.
