SECTION 3 – PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
W
C
EIGHT AND
APACITY
There are 3 main types of labels that can be found on the exterior of the trailer, usually on
the roadside front corner of the trailer.
Certification label, an Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity label, and a Tire and Loading
Information label. An additional Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity label is also
located on the inward surface of the entry door.
OCCC Label (Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity)
This label is yellow in color and has two parts.
The upper portion of this label is the maximum
Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity that may be
placed in or on the trailer as it was manufactured and
weighed before leaving the factory. This maximum
capacity would not include the weight of a full fresh
water tank. The full load of water weight would need
to be subtracted from the maximum cargo weight.
Additions or other changes made to the trailer after it
leaves the factory will affect (reduce) the OCCC.
The lower portion of this label indicates the weight value of the trailer as it was
manufactured and weighed at the factory. It includes full propane tanks and full generator
fuel (if so equipped).
You may question the total weight capacity of the tires on your RV being less than the
GVWR; this is correct. In order to calculate the actual weight on the RV tires, do not
include the tongue weight. The tongue weight is actually being carried by your tow
vehicle, not the RV tires.
For example: If the tires are rated at 2,000 lbs. each x 4 tires = 8,000 lbs. and the RV
has a GVWR of 9,000 lbs. with a tongue weight of 1,200 lbs. The actual weight on
the RV tires is (9,000 – 1,200) which equals 7,800 lbs. which is within the weight
rating of the tires.
If you have further questions, please contact your dealer or our Customer Service
department.

Federal Certification Label:

The Federal Certification Label is required by
the government to verify the trailer complies
with all motor vehicle standards for Canada and
the United States. It includes the following
information: Manufacturer name, VIN, GVWR,
GAWR (front/rear), tire & rim sizes and cold
tire inflation pressures.

Tire and Loading Label:

The Tire and Loading Label provides information
on the tire sizes, cold tire inflation pressures, the
VIN and maximum cargo capacity. The maximum
cargo capacity listed on the label does not include
the weight of a full load of water.
