Maximum Weight Limits
The following is an outline of the ratings that will be specified by the manufacturer of your vehicle and the
camper/caravan manufacturer. These MUST be followed in conjunction with previously mentioned criteria for
safe handling. None of the maximum ratings may be exceeded.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
This limit is specified by the trailer manufacturer and must NOT be exceeded under any circumstances. The ATM
is the full weight of the loaded trailer including ball (coupling) mass.
Vehicle GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
This is the loaded weight including fuel, passengers, cargo, and ball (coupling) mass of the attached trailer on the
tow vehicle.
Axle Load
This is the maximum load on an axle specified by the tow vehicle manufacturer. It is possible to have your vehicle
and trailer within ATM, GVM and GCM load limits but above the axle load limit specified. Be sure that this is not
exceeded.
