Terminology and Definitions
WEIGHT TERMINOLOGY
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum permissible weight of the RV when fully loaded. It includes all weights, inclusive of all fluids, occupants, cargo, optional equipment, and accessories. For safety and product, performance does NOT exceed the GVWR.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
The maximum permissible weight, including cargo, fluids, optional equipment, and accessories that can be safely supported by each axle.
NOTICE
The tires and axles do not support 100 percent of your towable RV’s weight. A percentage of your RV’s weight will be on the tow vehicle or tongue/landing jack and that needs to be accounted for when comparing the GVWR of the RV to your tire and axle weight capacity.
UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight)
Is the weight of the RV as manufactured at the factory. It includes all weight at the RV’s axles, including all fluids and LP Gas. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh potable water, or dealer-installed accessories.
CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity)
This is the amount of weight available for fresh potable water, cargo, additional optional equipment, and accessories. CCC is equal to GVWR minus UVW. Available CCC should accommodate fresh potable water (8.3 lbs. per gallon). Before filling the fresh water tank, empty the black and gray tanks to provide more cargo capacity.
NOTICE
Actual towing capacity is dependent upon your particular loading and towing circumstances, which include the GVWR, GAWR, and GCWR. Please refer to the Tow Vehicle Owner’s Manual for further towing information.
WARNING
- Double trailering or modifications to the frame of the RV, including the rear bumper, will void the frame warranty.
- Double trailering or modifications to the frame of the RV, including the rear bumper, will void the frame warranty.
