eight and Capacity Labels
W
There are 3 main types of labels that can be found on the exterior of the trailer, usually on
the roadside front corner of the trailer. Labels at this location will be a Federal Certification
label, an Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity label, and a Tire and Loading Information
label. An additional Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity label is also located on the
inward surface of the entry door.
OCCC Label (Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity)
This label is yellow in color and has two parts.
The upper portion of this label is the maximum
Occupant & 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 water
weight would need to be subtracted from the
OCCC Label (yellow)
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 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).
You may question the total weight capacity of the tires on your RV being less than the
GVWR; this is correct. In order to calculate the actual weight on the RV tires, do 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.
If you have further questions, please contact your dealer or Jayco Customer Service.
Federal Certification Label:
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
information: Manufacturer name, VIN, GVWR,
GAWR (front/rear), tire & rim sizes and cold
tire inflation pressures.
Federal Certification Label
Tire and Loading Label:
The 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.
