THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT AT THE REAR OF THE UNIT DOES NOT HAVE A SPECIFIED STORAGE WEIGHT LIMITATION AND CAN THEREFORE BE LOADED BEYOND THE MANUFACTURER’S INTENTIONS. ALSO SOME UNITS WERE DESIGNED WITH A FRESH WATER TANK LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE UNIT. AS A RESULT, THESE TRAILERS EXHIBIT REDUCED STABILITY WHILE BEING TOWED.
