Proper weight distribution is critical when loading the motorhome. Each manufacturer has taken into consideration the location of appliances, cabinets and additional components for proper weight distribution side to side, as well as front to back. When loading food, clothing, cooking utensils, tools and other items, be sure to distribute heavy items evenly throughout the RV. They should also be placed in such a way that they do not shift during travel. Understanding Weight Ratings Many motorhome manufacturers have joined the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association. RVIA has developed a set of standards used on a data plate included on each RV produced by participating manufacturers. In motorhomes, the RVIA data plate is located inside one of the cabinets in the kitchen, bath, or bedroom. On travel trailers and fifth wheels, the data plate is located outside near the front of the unit or, in some cases, in a cabinet door inside the RV. On pickups it is located on the doorpost. Following are weight terms and their definitions adopted by RVIA, including the terms and updates added in September 2000. Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is the maximum weight an axle can carry. It is determined by taking the lowest combined value of the axle rating, spring, airbag, suspension and tire rating. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the total weight the vehicle has been designed to carry. Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) is the weight of the motorhome as built at the factory. For motorhomes, that includes full fuel, engine oil and coolants. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh water, LP gas, occupants or dealer-installed accessories. Net Carrying Capacity (NCC) is the maximum weight of all occupants, personal belongings, food, fresh water, LP gas, tools, dealer-installed accessories, and tongue weight of the towed vehicle that can be carried by the motorhome. (NCC is equal to or less than GVWR minus UVW.) It is beneficial to know the NCC when purchasing a new coach. It tells you how much weight can be added to the coach and still remain within the GVWR on the coach. The term Cargo Carrying Capacity is replacing NCC in new RVs. Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) is a newly adopted term that is comparable to the previously used NCC. CCC is equal to the GVWR minus UVW, the weight of fresh water in the tank and hot water heater, the weight of propane in the tank, and the SCWR. Following is an example of the CCC calculation. GVWR 22,000 lbs. Less UVW - 16,000 lbs. Less 20 Gallons Fresh Water x 8.3 lbs. Each - 166 lbs. Less 16 Gallons Propane x 4.5 lbs. Each - 72 lbs. Less SCWR (4 x 154 lbs.) - 616 lbs. Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) 5,146 lbs. Sleeping Capacity Weight Rating (SCWR )-is another term recently adopted by RVIA. It's calculated by multiplying 154 pounds times the number of sleeping positions as defined by the RV manufacturer. Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) -a term that was developed for the trucking industry-is the combined weight of the truck and a trailer with brakes. It means that the engine horsepower, the cooling system capability and the transmission and differential have been designed into the vehicle to handle this much weight. It assumes the trailer or thing being towed would have its own braking system. The recreational vehicle industry adapted this term to mean the total weight the vehicle has been designed to handle, including the weight of a tow vehicle or trailer. It does not mean that the braking system has been designed to accommodate that much weight. Each RV owner is responsible for knowing the loaded weight of his or her vehicle. Use the worksheet below to help you find out if your vehicle weighs what it should according to the data plate found on the wall in the driver's compartment. Take your RV to a truck stop, where they will weigh it for a nominal fee and provide you with a weight receipt that shows front axle and total vehicle weight. RVers with travel trailers and fifth wheels will receive a weight slip that shows pickup weight and unit weight separately. Weighing your RV at a truck stop is only the first step, however. When the opportunity arises, you should take it to a professional weighing agency such as A'Weigh We Go-perhaps at an FMCA rally-to determine what your vehicle weighs at each of the corners. You need to determine if your vehicle is overweight on the corners as well as on the axles. Remember that the generator or other heavy items may have an effect on a particular axle. The actual Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) should be determined with the RV fully loaded, including fuel, propane, water (if you normally carry water when traveling), personal items, and the normal number of people usually carried. The gross weight shouldn't exceed the GVWR placed on the vehicle by the manufacturer. RV Weight Information Worksheet Copy the figures from the data plate in your RV in the first column. Then enter the actual weight figures in the second column and compare the two. If the actual GVWR is higher than the label figure, your vehicle is overloaded. If the GCVR is higher than the label figure, the motorhome and car or truck and trailer together weigh more than the vehicle was designed to pull. Model Date Date Weight on Data Plate Actual Weight GVWR GVWR UVW UVW NCC/CCC NCC/CCC SCWR SCWR GCWR GCWR Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): The maximum permissible weight of the RV. GVWR is equal to or greater than the sum of the UVW plus the NCC. Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW): The weight of this RV as built at the factory. For motorhomes, this includes a full load of fuel, engine oil and coolants. The UVW does not include cargo, fresh water, LP gas, occupants, or dealer-installed accessories. Net Carrying Capacity (NCC): The maximum weight of all occupants, personal belongings, food, fresh water, LP gas, tools, dealer-installed accessories and, for motorhomes, the tongue weight of the towed vehicle that can be carried by this RV. (To calculate the weight of water, multiply number of gallons times 8.33 pounds per gallon.) NCC is equal to or less than GVWR minus UVW. Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC): Comparable to the previously used NCC, CCC is equal to the GVWR less UVW, the weight of fresh water in the tank and hot water heater, the weight of propane in the tank, and the SCWR. Sleeping Capacity Weight Rating (SCWR): Calculated by multiplying the number of sleeping positions as defined by the RV manufacturer by 154 pounds per position. Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR): The value specified by the manufacturer as the maximum allowable loaded weight of the motorhome or truck with its towed trailer or towed vehicle. Consult your owner's manual for specific weighing instructions and towing guidelines. Footer | Footer | Footer -- Insurance License Information © 2005 Aon Recreation Insurance

The Most Complete RV Resource Recreational Vehicle Recreational Vehicle (or RV) is a term used in North America to describe a large enclosed piece of equipment with wheels designed to be moved from place to place for people to temporarily live in and be protected from the elements while away from their permanent home. While RVs are intended for brief leisure activities such as vacations and camping, some people, especially retirees, live in their units and are known as fulltimers. RVs can be rented in major U.S. and Canadian cities. There are different classes of vehicles generally labelled as RVs: A truck camperTruck Camper - unit is affixed to the bed or chassis of a pickup truck. Folding Camping Trailer - also known as a pop-up trailer; a light-weight unit with sides that collapse for towing and storage Travel Trailer - heavier unit with rigid sides designed to be towed by most vehicles by means of a bumper or frame hitch Fifth Wheel Travel Trailer - designed to be towed by a pickup truck equipped with a special hitch in the truck bed Park Model - designed for occasional relocation and will require a special tow vehicle and a highway movement permit Motorhome ("Winnebago", a product of the Winnebago Company that dominated the market for many years, was long a synonym for a motorhome, but this usage has faded in recent years.) Class A Motorcoach - constructed on a specially designed motor vehicle chassis, typically resembling a bus Class B Campervan - built using a conventional van, to which a raised roof has been added Class C Mini-motorhome - built on an automotive manufactured chassis with an attached van cab section Toterhome, a motor home built around a semi truck chassis such as a freightliner. This type of motor home allows you to pull large and heavy trailers while having all the conveniences of a large motor home A minimal RV typically contains beds, a table, food preparation and storage areas. Larger models add full bathrooms, refrigerators, living areas, master bedrooms, etc. Some RVs are very elaborate, with satellite TV and internet access, slide-out wall panels, and awnings; many RVs can cost in excess of $100,000 and some can cost over $1 million. These high end RVs typically need to be financed by banks or specialized lenders. Many RVers stay at RV parks, most of which feature electrical, water and sewer service (full hookups), as well as cable television and wireless Internet. Amenties often include swimming pools, gamerooms and even destination-resort activities such as horseback riding. Advantages of RVs include not having to move one's things in and out of motel rooms, not having to rent multiple motel rooms, and the fact that preparing food saves money compared to eating in restaurants. At the same time, an RV provides more organized living space and better protection from the weather than a tent. Children also tend to like RVs. Disadvantages of RVs include low fuel economy for the motorized RV or tow vehicle, lack of maid service as experienced in motels (maid service is available at a few high-end resorts), and larger RV models can be hard for the novice to drive or tow. Some people also live in RVs because they lack funds for more conventional housing. Similarly, RVs ? specifically, trailers which strongly resemble travel trailers, but usually with fewer amenities ? have been used to temporarily house victims of natural disasters. A notable example is Hurricane Katrina; the federal disaster relief agency FEMA has ordered large numbers of such trailers to house victims of the storm in Louisiana and Mississippi. Some people craft their own RVs out of cars, vans (vandwellers), or used passenger and school buses. Elkhart, Indiana, is known as the "RV Capital of the World" because it is home to many RV manufacturers, including, Forest River, Heartland RV, the Damon Corporation, Four Winds, Hy-Line, Keystone, Monaco, Sun Valley, and Travel Supreme. Many other manufacturers, including Dutchman, Gulf Stream, and Jayco, can be found in the nearby towns of Goshen, Middlebury, Nappanee, and Wakarusa. In 2005, these locales experienced a boom because of the large number of trailers ordered to house Hurricane Katrina victims. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
