GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)
– The value specified by the
manufacturer as the maximum permissible weight of the fully loaded motor home.
GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR)
– 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.
GROSS COMBINED WEIGHT RATING (GCWR)
– 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.
UNLOADED VEHICLE WEIGHT (UVW)
– 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.
OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY (OCCC)
- 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.
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.
Your motor home braking system is designed and rated for operation at
GVWR not GCWR.
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.

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.
