There are two important factors to consider when loading the motorhome;
total weight and balance. When loading heavy objects keep them as low as
possible, preferably on the floor. Load weight must be distributed as evenly as
possible.
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): GVWR means maximum
permissible weight of this motorhome. GVWR is equal to or greater than
the sum of UVW plus NCC.
• Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW): UVW means weight of this motorhome as
built at factory with full fuel, engine oil and coolants. UVW does not include
cargo, fresh water, LP-Gas, occupants or dealer installed accessories.
• Net Carrying Capacity (NCC): NCC means maximum weight of all
occupants including driver, personal belongings, food, fresh water, LP-Gas,
tools, tongue weight of towed vehicle, dealer installed accessories, etc., that
can be carried by this motorhome. (NCC is equal to or less than GVWR minus UVW.)
• Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR): GCWR means value specified
by motorhome manufacturer as maximum allowable loaded weight of this
motorhome with its towed trailer or towed vehicle.
• Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): GAWR means load-carrying capacity
specified by manufacturer of a single axle system, as measured at tire ground
interfaces.
