Section 3: Pre-Travel Information
OCCC Label (Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity
The upper portion of this yellow label is feder-
ally required and includes the maximum Occu-
pant & Cargo Carrying Capacity that may be
placed in or on the trailer as it was manufac-
tured 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 is provided volun-
tarily and 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).
NOTE: The total weight capacity of the tires on your RV can be
less than the GVWR. The calculation for the actual weight on the RV
tires does not include the tongue weight. The tongue weight is actu-
ally 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.
The Federal Certification Label is required
by the government to verify the trailer com-
plies with all motor vehicle standards for Can-
ada and the United States. It includes the fol-
lowing information: Manufacturer name, VIN,
GVWR, GAWR (front/rear), tire & rim sizes
and cold tire inflation pressures.
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 wa-
ter.
