Vehicle Labels
Decals and data plates used throughout the motor home aid in its safe and efficient operation; others give service instructions. Read all decals, data, and instruction plates before operating your recreation vehicle. Any decal, data, or instruction plate painted over, damaged, or removed should be replaced. Keep a record of the 17-digit chassis vehicle identification number (VIN), the 9-digit serial number, and your license number in the event theft or vandalism requires you to supply this information to the authorities.
Warning
The factory-installed weight labels are specific to the recreation vehicle for which they are supplied and are not interchangeable. Do not remove these labels from your vehicle. If labels are missing contact your dealer or Customer Service for replacements.
- Do not exceed any applicable motor home weight ratings. Doing so could damage your motor home or affect handling and braking characteristics.
- Your motor home braking system is designed and rated for operation at GVWR, not GCWR.
