TIRE RATINGS - The MAXIMUM LOAD that

pressure. A reduction in inflation pressure
requires a reduction in load rating. Tire

Gross Combination Weight (GCW) and hitch
loads.
WINTERIZED – Refers to a camper that has
been prepared for storage. The water
systems have been drained and RV
antifreeze has been added to protect the
water lines and drains. The low point drains
should be in the open position.
