FULL HOOK-UP SITE – A campsite that has
city water, shore power and sewer hook-ups
or connections available.
GRAY WATER – Term associated with the
waste water holding tank. Water from the sink
drains, shower and washer/dryer (if so
equipped) go into this tank.
GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) –
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WEIGHT each
axle assembly is designed to carry, as
measured at the tires, therefore including the
weight of the axle assembly itself. GAWR is
established by considering the rating of each
of its components (tires, wheels, springs,
axle), and rating the axle on its weakest link.
The GAWR assumes that the LOAD IS
EQUAL ON EACH SIDE.
GROSS CARRYING CAPACITY (GCC) -
Means the maximum carrying capacity of your
camper. The GCC is equal to the GVWR
minus UVW. The GCC will be reduced by the
weight of fresh water or other tanks, propane,
occupants, personal items or dealer installed
accessories.
GROSS COMBINED
(GCWR) – The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE
COMBINED WEIGHT of the tow vehicle and
the attached towed vehicle. GCWR assumes
that both vehicles have functioning brakes,
with exceptions in some cases for very light
towed vehicles, normally less than 1,500
pounds. (Check your tow vehicle's towing
guide.)
GROSS TRAILER
(GTWR) - The MAXIMUM TOWED VEHICLE
WEIGHT. Each
drawbar, ball) of a ball-type hitch has its own
rating. Some ball-type hitches have separate
ratings when used with a weight distributing
system.
GROSS VEHICLE
(GVWR) – The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE
WEIGHT of the fully loaded vehicle, including
liquids, passengers, cargo, and the tongue
weight of any towed vehicle.
