What does the RVing term ‘GVWR’ mean?

GVWR means ‘Gross Vehicle Weight Rating’, which is the maximum permissible amount the tow vehicle, trailer or motorhome is rated to weigh when fully loaded for travel. This includes the unit itself, all cargo and fluids, extra equipment and occupants. For safety and handling purposes it is important to adhere to the trailer or motorhome’s GVWR and not exceed it. The GVWR can be found on a sticker located on the inside of the driver or entry door or near the exterior roadside front of the trailer.
