The maximum weight that persons plus cargo should never exceed. Payload is
derived by subtracting Curb Weight from GTWR/GVWR.
PRIMARY BED AREA:

REFRIGERATOR CAPACITY:
This is the amount of space total each equipped refrigerator/freezer has,
to store items. This is typically measured in cubic feet (cu. ft.).

part of those parts designed to contact the ground; rounded down to the nearest whole inch.
SECOND BED AREA:
Secondary bed sleeping area size in inches; rounded down to the nearest whole
inch.
STORAGE SPACE:
The amount of storage space in cabinetry and storage compartments that can be
secured during transport: measured to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.

The size and specification of the tire by industry standard.
TRIM PACKAGE:
The specific standard trim and accessories option selected for the model.
USABLE FRESH WATER:
The amount of water that can be drawn out of the fresh water tank, measured
and rounded down to the nearest whole gallon.
WET COG:
Center of Gravity on a truck camper; this is the point measured from the exterior front wall
to the point where the camper is balanced- the center, when the unit has weights defined as wet.
WET TONGUE WEIGHT:
The actual weight pressing down on the hitch ball by a trailer containing
all standard equipment with fuel and fluids, but before adding passengers or cargo, passengers, or
optional equipment. The spare tire, battery(s), full LP tank(s) glycol fluid, and a full fresh water tank are
considered standard wet weight equipment.
WET WEIGHT:
The actual weight of a camper containing all standard equipment with fuel and fluids,
but before adding cargo, passengers, or optional equipment. The spare tire (on trailers), battery(s),
full propane bottle(s), glycol fluid, and a full fresh water tank are considered standard wet weight
equipment. (Note: nuCamp defines wet weight as different from Curb weight. nuCamp’s wet weight
takes a full fresh water tank into consideration, while federal regulation defines water in tanks as cargo
and curb weight is “the weight of a trailer/motor vehicle with standard equipment, including the
maximum capacity of fuel, oil and coolant.”)
