To Help You Understand The Different Carrying Capacities Of Your RV Please Refer To The Following Definitions.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating):
Means the maximum permissible weight of this motorhome. The GVWR is equal to or greater than the sum of the unloaded vehicle weight plus the net carrying capacity.

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating):
Means the value specified by the motorhome manufacturer as the maximum allowable loaded weight of this motorhome with its towed trailer or towed vehicle. Towing and braking capacities may differ. Refer to your motorhome and chassis manufacturer manuals for complete information.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating):
Means the maximum permissible loaded weight a specific axle is designed to carry.

GTW (Gross Towed Weight):
The maximum permissible loaded wight of a trailer or car that this motorhome has been designed to tow. This cannot be increased by changing the trailer hitch.

UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight):
The weight of the motorhome as built at the factory with full fuel, engine oil and coolants. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh water, LP gas, occupants or dealer installed accessories.

NCC (Net Carrying Capacity):
The maximum weight of all occupants including the driver, passenger, personal belongings, food, fresh water, LP gas, tools, tongue weight of towed vehicle, dealer installed accessories, etc., that can be carried by this motorhome. Normal variation of materials may cause the Net Carrying Capacity to be 200 lbs. higher or lower than stated. (NCC is equal to or less than GVWR minus UVW)

Tongue Weight:
The Maximum permissible downward force exerted on hitch ball by the towed vehicle coupler.

Your RV chassis manufacturer recommends the installation of a supplemental brake control system to activate the brakes on the vehicle or trailer you are towing.
