Section 3: Pre-travel information
Vehicle Labels
Decals and data plates used throughout the motor home aid in its safe and efficient operation;
others give service instructions. Read all decals, data and instruction plates before operating
your recreation vehicle. Any decal, data or instruction plate painted over, damaged or
removed should be replaced.
Keep a record of the 17-digit chassis vehicle identification number (VIN), the 9-digit serial
number, and your license number in the event theft or vandalism requires you to supply this
information to the authorities.
Weight Terms
GAWR - Gross Axle Weight Rating: The value specified by the vehicle manufacturer
as the load-carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire-to-ground
interfaces. This is the total weight a given axle is capable of carrying.
GCWR - Gross Combined Weight Rating: The value specified by the motor home
manufacturer as the maximum allowable loaded weight of the motor home in combination
with its towed trailer or towed vehicle. The tongue weight of a towed vehicle/ trailer counts
as part of the motor home cargo.
GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: The value specified by the manufacturer as the
maximum permissible weight of the fully loaded motor home.
OCCC - Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity:
Is equal to the GVWR of the motor
home, minus the weight of the motor home, as completed at the factory, minus the weight of
all occupants, including the driver, minus the weight of all personal cargo, minus the weight
of a full tank of chassis engine fuel and, if applicable, minus the weight of a full tank of
propane. The full weight of potable water, including the water heater and the tongue weight
of a towed vehicle/ trailer counts as cargo in or on the motor home. Additions to or other
changes made to the motor home after it left the factory will affect (reduce) the OCCC.
UVW - Unloaded Vehicle Weight:
The weight of this motor home as manufactured at
the factory with fuel, engine oil and coolants and if applicable, the weight of a full tank of
propane.
Weight and Capacity Labels
The following labels are located on the inward-facing surface of the main entry door of the
motor home and on the lower sidewall left of the driver’s seat
.
The factory-installed weight labels are specific to the recreation vehicle
for which they are supplied and are not interchangeable. Do not remove
these labels from your vehicle. If labels are missing contact your dealer
or Customer Service for replacements.
Do not exceed any applicable motor home weight ratings. Doing
so could damage your motor home or affect handling and braking
characteristics.
Your motor home braking system is designed and rated for operation
at GVWR not GCWR.
