Calculating Mass; Storing Baggage; Load Distribution - Le Voyageur LVXH8.7 GJF Manuel Utilisateur

3.3.2 CALCULATING MASS

Calculate your load by taking into account passengers, luggage and full fuel, fresh water and gas supplies. The load should be evenly distributed
throughout the various storage areas of your vehicle.
Mass in running order (MRO)
Caution: installing heavy optional equipment (additional water tank, 230V air conditioning + generator, extra battery, motorcycle carrier, etc.) will
affect your load. Failure to follow these instructions may impact motorhome safety conditions, particularly road holding. Failure to comply with the
maximum authorised mass is subject to a fine and any accidents will not be covered by your insurance. The number of registered seats may be
reduced in order to comply with legislation.

3.3.3 STORING BAGGAGE

To avoid having excess baggage, draw up lists for crockery, clothing and personal objects. We advise you to keep them in a specific place, well
wedged into the many storage compartments intended for the purpose, so as to be able to find them easily. Make good use of the purpose-built
storage compartments such as the furniture and outer lockers.

Load distribution

(vehicle + driver) (full tanks + luggage + passengers)
To maintain your motorhome's road-holding ability, the centre of gravity of the load must
be as low as possible. This helps reduce the side effects on suspension such as swaying,
pitching, etc. Heavy loads must be tied down or wedged in to avoid any ill-timed
movement. If possible they should be placed close to the motorhome floor and
distributed evenly so as not to exceed the maximum permissible loads. The overhead
cupboards (option) and the storage chests located behind the rear axle should be
reserved for relatively lightweight objects.
