Hello everyone,

Could someone explain all of the various carrying capacities regarding a motorhome. I want to make sure I do not buy a motorhome with too limited a carrying capacity.

I am looking at a 2007 Holiday Rambler Navigator.

Thanks

If the Navigator has a tag axle don't worry about any overloading of the carrying capacity. If it just has a single rear axle then there may be cause for concern. I know that for several years the single rear axle HR high end diesel models had a limited carrying capacity. Too bad my senior mind can't remember the exact years.

I would ask the seller to get at least the front and rear axle weights. This would give you a "ball park" capacity figure to compare to the weight placard in the coach.

The Navigator is the HR top of the line diesel coach.
