This will give a clear indication of exactly how the weight of the
motorhome is distributed. These instructions and diagrams are presented on the
following pages. When the total weight, and the weight on each axle, is known
the tire load data chart in this manual will show the correct cold inflation
pressure per tire for each axle.
There are two important factors to consider when loading the motorhome:
total weight and balance. When loading heavy objects keep them as low as
possible, preferably on the floor. Load weight must be distributed as evenly as
possible. The following is an explanation of commonly used weight
abbreviations.
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): Maximum permissible
weight of this motorhome. GVWR is equal to or greater than the
sum of UVW plus NCC.
• Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW): Weight of this motorhome as
built at factory with full fuel, engine oil and coolants. UVW does
not include cargo, fresh water, LP-Gas, occupants or dealer
installed accessories.
• Net Carrying Capacity (NCC): Maximum weight of all occupants
including driver, personal belongings, food, fresh water, LP-Gas,
tools, tongue weight of towed vehicle, dealer installed accessories,
etc., that can be carried by this motorhome. (NCC is equal to or
less than GVWR minus UVW.)
• Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR): Maximum
allowable loaded weight of this motorhome and any towed trailer
or towed vehicle.
• Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): Load-carrying capacity
specified by manufacturer of a single axle system, as measured
at tire ground interfaces.
• Gross Combined Axle Weight (GCAW): The sum of the total
weight of all axles when added together.
• Sleeping Capacity Weight Rating (SCWR): The manufacturer's
designated number of sleeping positions multiplied by 154
pounds.
