WEIGHING THE MOTORHOME
Proper weight distribution, load management and operating within established limitations will aide
in safe and enjoyable travel. This section provides guidelines and worksheets for weighing procedures.
Proper weight distribution and load management is an individual responsibility. In order to correctly
manage load and weight distribution, more than one weight measurement will be required. Each wheel
position must be weighed to accurately determine the weight placed on each wheel position for
proper weight computations. The entire process of weigh management begins with the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating as listed on the Federal Certification Label.
This weight cannot be exceeded.
CAUTION:
Most States limit the amount of weight carried by any single axle position. It is the
responsibility of the operator to know the legal weight limit of the State in which they
travel.
Weight Terms
Numerous Federal, State and local governments mandate weight limits. Understanding the terminol-
ogy and performing proper weighing procedure will help eliminate confusion. It is important to under-
stand there are two reasons to weigh the motorhome. One to find out the
Cargo Carrying Capacity
(CCC)
and the other to ensure no axle is overloaded.
The
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
of the axles is listed on the federal certification label
attached to the motorhome. This is the maximum allowable loaded weight on a particular axle. This
label is generally located to the rear of the driver's seat, on the wall.
When the actual loaded weight of the motorhome, and the weight on each axle is unknown, follow
the recommended tire inflation pressure(s) listed on the federal certification label. When loading a
motorhome never exceed the motorhome's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
or the
GAWR
for
each axle.
NOTE:
Contact the tire manufacturer for further information concerning proper tire pressure
inflation and other tire issues.
The
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
and
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
Listed on
the Federal Certification Label attached to the motorhome details the chassis manufacturer's and/or
the RV manufacturer's total vehicle maximum weight rating and per axle weight rating.
The
GVWR
is the maximum total weight for which the motorhome is rated - including passengers,
fluids and cargo. The
GAWR
is the maximum weight for which a single axle is designed. The tires,
wheels, axle, motorhome frame and/or other components of the motorhome may limit these per axle
and total maximum weight ratings.
