Glossary WEIGHT & LOAD—These terms are generally used interchangeably. For the purposes of understanding RV applications: • Vehicles have WEIGHT, which impart LOADS to tires, axles and hitches. • Scale measurements taken when weighing, are LOADS carried by the tires. The measured LOADS are used to calculate Gross Combination Weight (GCW) Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Axle Weight (GAW), and Hitch Loads.
