ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, IMPROPER WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION MAY OCCUR WHEN THE BACK OF THE TRAVEL TRAILER IS LOADED WITH CARGO.
UNDER CERTAIN LOAD CONDITIONS, THE IMPROPER WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION MAY CAUSE HANDLING PROBLEMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, POTENTIAL SWAYING OF THE TRAILER WHILE BEING TOWED ON THE ROAD. THIS COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN AN CRASH INVOLVING THE TRAVEL TRAILER AND THE TOW VEHICLE.
