Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): is the value specified as the
load carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the
tire-ground interfaces. Effective September, 2017, the tires will be
rated 10 % higher or more than axle, becoming the GAWR rating.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): is the maximum permissible
weight of this trailer when fully loaded. It includes all weight at the
trailer axle( s) and tongue or pin on Fifth Wheel. This includes ALL

Weighing Vehicle (Loaded or Unloaded)
The proper method to weigh the coach is to use a truck scale. Place
the coach axles (tires) and tongue jack or landing jacks with front
supports, 12” to 24” from the edge. Unhook the tow vehicle and
move forward 6” to 8”. Now record total weight. Re-hook the tow
vehicle and remove the weight from the front support. Be sure no
part of tow vehicle is on the scale. Now record the axle weight only.
The difference between the two weights is the hitch weight.
KZRV suggests you also weigh each side (2 tires) separate to find
balance of pounds per side. Its possible to have 1 side correct and
the other side over-loaded. Often the slide out side or refrigerator
side will be slightly heavier than the other.
