The Thor manual states:
"The Thor Motor Coach Motor Home WEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS yellow label
concisely states the occupant and cargo carrying capacity of your motor home ( per the
requirements of 49 CFR part 571.120 as issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration - NHTSA).
The yellow MOTOR HOME OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY weight
label is affixed to the interior side of the forward-most door of your motor home on the
passenger side This label indicated how much weight you can safely carry within the
vehicle and is affixed to the entrance door, directly below the window screen for Class
A units and on the front door jamb for Class C units.
Your motor home includes a "Weight Information Label."
This label provides specific weight information for your motor
home as a guideline so that you can determine the load carrying
capabilities.The total weight of passengers, cargo, trailer tongue weight, and water should neverexceed the value shown on the label."
I heard back from the sales department at Cruise America, and they got the information from the yellow sticker that stated this:
MOTOR HOME OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY
VIN# [removed]
THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED:
1354 kg or 2986 lbs.
Safety belt equipped seating capacity: 7
Caution:
A full load of water equals 176 kg or 382 lbs. of cargo @ 1kg/L (8.3 lb./gal) and the tongue weight of a towed trailer counts as cargo
(Serial # [removed])
I'm not denying that weighing the vehicle will be needed - it definitely will be. But this information along my other weights allows me to do some pre-planning in my spreadsheets while I'm thinking about all the things I WANT to take.
I don't have a "home base" - so I really don't want to think I'm gonna take a ton of stuff, get out on the road, weight myself and go "****, now what". I'm much more a plan ahead kind of gal :-)
