Secure  loose  items  to  prevent  weight  shifts  that  could  affect  the
balance  of  your  vehicle.  When  the  truck  camper  is  loaded,  drive  to a
scale  and  weigh  on  the  front  and  on  the  rear  wheels  separately  to
determine  axle  loads.  Individual  axle  loads  should  not  exceed  e ither
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle  loads
should  not  exceed  the  Gross  Vehicle  Weight  Rating  (GVWR). These
ratings are given on the vehicle  certification label which is located on
the door latch post on the le ft side of the vehicle. (P. 543) If weight
ratings  are  exceeded,  move  or  remove  items  to  bring  all  weights
below the ratings.
