TRAVELING
Weights and Cargo Capacity
For safety reasons, it is very important to provide RV owners with the most accurate
weight information available. The “Federal Certification” label (Fig. 3-2), located on
the roadside front corner of the travel trailer is shown here. Several weight terms an
owner needs to understand when operating a towable recreation vehicle are defined on
the “Trailer Weight Information” label (Fig. 3-3), which will be found on the back of a
cabinet door in the kitchen base cupboard. An important term in addition to the label
information is the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating). The GAWR is the maximum
weight rating that components of each axle are designed to support (i.e. tires, brakes,
springs, axle). Make sure that you review and understand the weight terms and
information.
The weight provided in the Jayco literature for your travel trailer is based on standard
equipment on that particular model and is “dry” (i.e. no liquids or cargo). Remember that
any options or personal cargo added must be subtracted from the available cargo
capacity.
Never exceed the gross vehicle weight rating of your travel trailer.

WARNING: Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by
weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space
when loading the vehicle. Do not exceed your gross vehicle weight capacity
and ensure you are loading the unit as evenly as you can for the best possible
handling. Ensure heavy items are secured so they do not shift during travel.
