The result is the weight that is permitted for the actual load of the personal
equipment.
4.3.3 Loading the motorhome correctly
Large storage spaces, such as the rear garage, also have room for heavy
objects (e.g. motorcycle). This might mean that the axle load on the rear axle
is exceeded.
However, the individual axles may not be overloaded under any circum-
stances. That is why it is important, at which distance to the axles the load is
stored.
To distribute the load correctly, you will need a scale, a tape measure, a cal-
culator and some time.
Two simple formulas are needed to calculate the effect of the weight of the
load on the axles:
Formulas A x G : R = weight on the rear axle
Weight on the rear axle – G = weight on the front axle
Explanation A = distance between storage compartment and front axle in cm
G = weight of the load in the storage compartment in kg
R = wheelbase of the vehicle (distance between axles) in cm
For safety reasons, never exceed the maximum permissible gross
weight in a laden condition.
Distribute the load evenly on the left and right sides of the vehicle.
Distribute the load evenly on both axles. In doing so, observe the axle
loads specified in the vehicle documents. Observe the permissible load-
carrying capacity of the tyres (see chapter 14).
Heavy loads behind the rear axle can reduce the load on the front axle
due to the leverage effect ( ). This applies especially to long rear
extensions, if a motorbike is transported on the rear carrier or if there is
a heavy load in the rear storage space. The release of the front axle neg-
atively affects the driving quality, especially for front-driven vehicles.
Store all objects in such a way that they cannot slip.
Store heavy objects (tent poles, tin cans, etc.) close to the axles.
Low-lying storage compartments whose doors do not open in the direc-
tion of travel and underfloor storage compartments or storage compart-
ments in the double floor are particularly suited for storing heavy objects.
Stack light objects (laundry) in the roof storage cabinets.
Load the bike rack with bicycles only (max. four units).
Measure the external distances horizontally from the centre of the front
wheel to the centre of the storage compartment or to the centre of the back
wheel.
