Weight and Capacity Labels
The following labels are typically located on the roadside front corner of the RV. An ad-
ditional Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity label is also located on the inward surface of
the entry door.
OCCC Label (Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity):
The upper portion of this yellow label is feder-
ally required and includes the maximum Occu-
pant and 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 wa-
ter 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 voluntarily 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. Your tow vehicle, not the RV tires, is actually car-
rying the tongue weight.
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 and 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 ca-
pacity listed on the label does not include the weight
of a full load of water.If you have further questions,
please contact your dealer or our Customer Service
department.
