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).
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 parked 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 the
ball coupler. This figure is the hitch height. The
hitch ball is then usually set 1/2 to 1 in. higher,
according to the spring rate of your tow vehicle, to
allow for it to settle when the trailer is hitched up.
The UBW and NCC weights listed in the Specification
Chart are for the base unit with LP and batteries
included.
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
coupler.
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.
