full fuel, engine oil, and coolants. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh water, Propane

fresh (potable) water weight (including water heater), full Propane-Gas weight and SCWR.
GVW:
Gross Vehicle Weight is the weight of the unit with all items and supplies that are
loaded into the unit at any point in time.
SCWR:

NOTE:
The sales literature may give approximates or standards. Each individual unit may
weigh differently based on the factory and/or dealer options added. To assure the accuracy
of your weights be sure the unit is always level during weighing.
The unit has been built to comply with the component suppliers recommended limits and give
you a realistic CCC. When loading the unit, distribute the items so that not all of the weight
is added to one area of the unit. If you have questions as to what the weight of the unit is after
it has been loaded, take the unit to a drive-on scale or use individual wheel scales and verify
that the weights are within the limits of those specified for the unit.
