This will give a clear indication of exactly how the weight of the motorhome
is distributed. These instructions and diagrams are presented on the following
pages. When the total weight and the weight on each axle is known, the tire
load data chart in this manual will show the correct cold inflation pressure per
tire for each axle.
Two important factors to consider when loading the motorhome:
total
weight
and
balance
. When loading heavy objects keep them as low as possible,
preferably on the floor. Load weight must be distributed as evenly as possible.
The following is an explanation of commonly used weight abbreviations.
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR):
GVWR means maximum
permissible weight of this motorhome. GVWR is equal to or greater
than the sum of UVW plus NCC.
• Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW):
UVW means weight of this
motorhome as built at factory with full fuel, engine oil and coolants.
UVW does not include cargo, fresh water, LP-Gas, occupants or
dealer installed accessories.
• Net Carrying Capacity (NCC):
NCC means maximum weight of
all occupants including driver, personal belongings, food, fresh
water, LP-Gas, tools, tongue weight of towed vehicle, dealer
installed accessories, etc., that can be carried by this motorhome.
(NCC is equal to or less than GVWR minus UVW.)
• Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR):
GCWR means the
maximum allowable loaded weight of this motorhome and any
towed trailer or towed vehicle.
• Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR):
GAWR means load-carrying
capacity specified by manufacturer of a single axle system, as
measured at tire ground interfaces.
• Gross Combined Axle Weight (GCAW):
GCAW means the sum of
the total weight of all axles when added together.
