• Check all exterior lights before each trip.
• Obey traffic laws, allow extra time for stopping and decrease speed when visibility is
limited or roads are wet.
• Have a safe and wonderful trip!
If towing a trailer is new for you, please take time to practice towing, parking and backing
skills prior to traveling. Your dealer can answer many of your questions, but nothing
replaces practice. We recommend you find a large and quiet parking lot to practice your
skills.
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, located on the roadside
front corner of the sidewall, supplies a por-
tion of this information.
There are four important weight terms an
owner needs to understand when operating a
towable recreation vehicle.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
–
The GVWR equals the most or maximum weight your recreation vehicle should weigh
with all liquids (water, LP gas), food, clothing, camping supplies and
ALL OPTIONS
loaded in the coach when attached to the tow vehicle. The sum of the empty travel trailer
weight plus cargo cannot exceed the GVWR.
Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW)
– The UVW, also called the “Empty Shipping
Weight” is the weight of the coach as it was manufactured at the factory without liquids,
factory options or dealer accessories included.
Net Carrying Capacity (NCC)
– The NCC equals the maxiumum weight of all liquids,
options dealer installed options and owner’s cargo consisting of food, clothes, camping
equipment, etc.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
– The maximum weight that may be placed on an
axle assembly. The sum of this rating is the weakest link of the tires, wheels, springs,
axles, or brakes.
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 cvargo
capacity.
Never exceed the gross vehicle weight rating of your travel trailer.
