Load Distribution; Trailer - Pilote P600P 2021 Manual De Instrucciones

Load distribution

To preserve the roadholding of your motorhome, the centre of gravity of the load must be as low as possible. This will reduce any undesirable
suspension effects, such as rolling, pitching, etc. Heavy loads must be tied down or wedged in to avoid any ill-timed movement. If possible they will
be placed close to the motorhome floor and distributed evenly so as not to exceed the maximum permissible loads. The overhead cupboards and
the storage chests located behind the rear axle should be reserved for relatively lightweight objects.

3.4.4 Trailer

Unladen weight
The trailer weight must be less than or equal to:
• the maximum authorised towable mass for your motorhome (See "Technical specifications", page 83)
• the maximum authorised mass for your coupling.
The latter is calculated based on the value D indicated on the coupling, using the following formula: MR = (D x T) ÷ [(9.8 x T) - D]
Where T = maximum authorised mass of your vehicle (in tonnes). For example, if T = 3.5t and D = 12.5kN, then MR = 2t.
Maximum towable weight
Note: Pilote Group is committed to delivering motorhomes whose MRO sits within the 5% tolerance threshold of that set during the certification process. This 5% percentage
was retained by the European regulations to take into account possible motorhome weight variations, linked to manufacturing variations on the basic vehicle and the living
area: external metal sheets with a variable average thickness, humidity rate for porous components, etc.
