If your slide-in camper and its load

weigh

less

than

the CWR, the center

of

gravity zone for your vehicle

may be larger.

Your dealer can help you make a

good

vehicle-camper

match.

He’ll

also

help you determine your CWR.

After you’ve loaded

your

vehicle

and

camper, drive to

a

weigh

station

and

weigh on the front and rear wheels

separately. This will

tell

you

the loads on

your axles. The loads on the front and

rear axles shouldn’t be more than

either

of

the

GAWRs. The total

of the axle loads should

not

be more than

the GVWR.

Open your driver’s door and

look

at

the door lock

pillar for the

Certificatiomire label to find out your GAWR

and

GVWR.

If you’ve gone

over your weight ratings, move or take

out

some things

until

all the weights fall

below

the

ratings.

Of

course, you

should

always

tie

down

any loose items when

you

load

your

vehicle or camper.

When you

install

and load your slide-in

camper,

check

the

manufacturer’s

instructions.

If you want more information

on

curb weights, cargo weights, cargo weight

rating and

the correct center of

gravity

zone for your

vehicle, your dealer

can help you. Just ask for a

copy

of

“Consumer

Information, Truck-Camper

Loading.”

Trailer

Recommendations

You must subtract your hitch loads from the CWR for your vehicle.

Weigh

your vehicle

with

your

trailer attached,

so

that

you

won’t

go

over

the

GVWR or the

GAWR.

You’ll get the

best

performanceif

you

spread

out

the

weight

of

your

load

the right way,

and

if

you choose the correct hitch

and

trailer

brakes.

For

more information, see “Towing

a

Trailer”

in

the

Index.

Pickup

Conversion

to

Chassis

Cab

General Motors is aware that some vehicle owners may consider having

the

pickup box removed

and

a commercial or recreational

body

installed.

However, we recommend

that conversions of this type not be done to

pickups. Owners should

be aware that, as manufactured, there are

differences

between

a

chassis cab and

a

pickup

with

the

box

removed

which

may

affect vehicle safety. For specific information

on

this

pickup, contact

the GM Zone Office for your area. (See the “Warranty

and Owner

Assistance” booklet for

Zone Office.)
