HOW MUCH STUFF can your RV carry // RV WEIGHT & RATINGS // Explained // GVWR GAWR OCCCR worksheet
How much does your RV weigh? Why is this so important and how to find the answer. I walk through all the gobbledygook acronyms that are used to talk about various RV ratings and show you just how easy is it to figure it all out.
Why should we care about all this . . . Safety and Money.
On an Rv worst case scenario it can be a huge safety hazard which could be catastrophic and best case scenario it’ll just be expensive, because - as we know - stuff will wear or break if overstressed.
What should we do about all this . . . pay attention and know your limits [as in how much stuff you can haul about] and learn how to distribute your stuff for maximum efficiency and safety.
Ratings - is determined by the manufacturer indicating the maximum limits of the vehicle
Weights is the amount of weight of a given item and Loads is the amount of weight carried by a specific area of the vehicle.
GVW [Gross Vehicle Weight] is how much everything weighs - if you load your vehicle and weigh it this is the GVW
Add the R GVWR - that’s the maximum number your vehicle is RATED for which also includes the tongue weight for anything that you’re towing.
GAW [Gross Axle Weight] is the load of your axles. It is important to note the rating for all the individual axles of your RV, but if you really want to get knit picky about it all you should really know the weight for each side of each axle - ideally those numbers are used to adjust your tire pressure [which is a whole other video].
So mostly we just want to know how much stuff we can haul about right - that’s called your Cargo Carrying Capacity CCC.
I include a worksheet that you can use to figure out your CCC and then show you how easy it is to use the https://CATSCALE.COM app to get your RV weight.
I don’t know enough about the whole towing-hitch-distribution-torque-pitch-conundrum of trailer and fifth wheel RV’s yet, so that can be addressed in another video. This one is intended for camper vans and motorhomes, but most of the information here can apply to all RVS.
