For precise cargo capacity read the Cargo Carrying Capacity tag on the inside
of the screen door. The “WEIGHT OF CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED” num-
bers shown on the Cargo Carrying Capacity tag in your vehicle is the maximum
weight of cargo you can load and carry in your
specific
trailer as built with
its
options.
Two tags are located on the front roadside of your trailer.
The Tire & Loading information tag lists the Size and Cold Inflation Pressure of
the tires on your vehicle, the weight of your trailer as manufactured, and the
Gross Vehicular Weight Rating.
The Vehicle Manufacturing Tag lists the Size of tires and wheel rims, Maximum
Cold Inflation pressures, the Vehicle identification Number (VIN), and Gross
Axle ratings (GAWR).
The UBW and NCC weights listed in the Specification Table are for the base
unit with no options and fluids.
Gross Vehicular Weight Rating (GVWR): is the maximum permissible weight
of this trailer when fully loaded. It includes all weight at the trailer axle (s) and
tongue or pin.
Unit Base Weight (UBW): is the dry weight of the base unit without options.
Net Carrying Capacity (NCC): is equal to GVWR minus UBW
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): is the value specified as the load carrying
capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire-ground interfaces.
Measuring Hitch Ball Height
The proper height will vary according to the weight you carry and the tires you
use. However, checking the height on your trailer is relatively easy:
1. With trailer on fairly level ground measure from ground to bottom of frame,
front and rear.
2. Adjust front jack until measurements are equal.
3. Now measure from ground to the inside top of ball coupler. This figure is the
hitch height. The hitch ball is then usually set ½” to 1” higher, according to
the spring rate of your tow vehicle, to allow for it to settle when the trailer is
hitched up.
