MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY
The following label is placed in a visible loca-
tion in the driver compartment.
The number of belted seating positions in your
motor home may exceed the number people used
to determine maximum coach occupancy, called
the Net Carrying Capacity (NCC) in the U.S. or
Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) in Canada.
To calculate the NCC or CCC, Winnebago
uses vehicle sleeping capacity, however your
coach may be equipped with more belted seating
positions than sleeping positions to give passen-
gers a choice of seating arrangements. You may
use all of the belted seating positions providing
you stay within your vehicle’s GVWR listed on
the Vehicle Certification Label. However you
use or load your vehicle, it is your responsibility
to keep the weight within its stated gross vehicle
weight rating.

SEVERE WEATHER INFORMATION
One of the more serious conditions affecting
the traveler and camper is that of the weather.
Whether you desire the high mountain terrain,
the lower deserts and flatlands or the plains of
the midwest, the weather is always with you and
subject to change, sometime with little or no
warning. However, adequate warnings are nor-
mally broadcast over local radio and TV sta-
tions.
Campers often seek secluded areas for week-
end recreation or extended summer vacations.
Many recreational areas are vulnerable to severe
weather situations, especially flash flooding con-
ditions. A few simple precautions may help
