Federal Weight Label (USA)
e Federal Weight Label is typically axed to the driver’s
door jamb for Class B and C motorhomes and near the driver’s
seat for Class A motorhomes. is label concisely states the
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the motorhome, along
with the gross axle weight rating (GAWR) (both front and
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR):
e maximum allowable loaded weight of this motorhome,
including the weight of its towed trailer or towed vehicle.
is rating is determined by the chassis manufacturer and
takes into consideration the design of the chassis, suspen-
sion components, tires, engine torque and horsepower, and
drivetrain components.
Gross Combined Weight (GCW):
The actual measured combined weight of the loaded
motorhome plus the weight of a loaded trailer or towed
vehicle. is weight measurement is found by weighing the
motorhome with its towed vehicle on a commercial vehicle
scale. THE MEASURED GCW MUST NEVER EXCEED
THE GCWR OF THE MOTORHOME.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR):
e value specied as the load carrying capacity of a single
axle system, as measured at the tire ground interfaces. is
rating is determined by the manufacturer of the chassis. is
rating can be found on the Federal Weight Label, axed to
the driver’s door jamb (Class C and B) or near the driver’s
seat (Class A).
Gross Axle Weight (GAW):
Gross axle weight is the total weight of the fully loaded
motorhome on each axle. is weight gure is determined
by weighing the fully loaded motorhome with a loaded trailer
or towed vehicle. See your owner’s manual for instructions
on weighing your motorhome.
Tongue Weight:
Weight directly transferred to the hitch of the motorhome
by a loaded trailer. e maximum tongue weight is listed
on the motorhome’s hitch label. Be sure that tongue weight
never exceeds the GAWR of the rear axle of the motorhome.
DO NOT EXCEED THE TONGUE WEIGHT RATING OF
THE HITCH.
When loading a trailer, remember to place heavy cargo over
the axle(s) of the trailer, however the trailer must have some
tongue weight to help stabilize the trailer while being towed.
Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight:
e highest possible weight of a fully loaded trailer or towed
vehicle the motorhome can tow based on a minimally loaded
motorhome (GVW).
Towing Capacity:
Towing capacity is determined by subtracting the measured
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) from the Gross Combined
Weight Rating (GCWR). DO NOT EXCEED THE TOW
ING CAPACITY RATING OF THE HITCH AND THE
MOTORHOME.
