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 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. The tongue weight is actually 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 complies
with all motor vehicle standards for Canada and
the United States. It includes the following in-
formation: 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 water.
If you have further questions, please contact your dealer
or our Customer Service department.
