TOWING
LOADING
Below is a sample of the weight information chart provided in all Airstream vehicles.
This information can be found in your vehicle on the back of the first wardrobe door on
the curbside of the vehicle about 60” up from the floor.
• Gross Vehicular Weight Rating (GVWR): is the maximum permissible weight
of this trailer when fully loaded. It includes all weight at the trailer axle (s) and
tongue or pin.
• Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW): is the weight of this trailer as manufactured
at the factory. It includes all trailer weight at the trailer axle (s) and tongue or
pin. If applicable, it also includes full generator fluids, including fuel, engine oil,
and coolants.
• Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC): is equal to GVWR minus each of the
following: UVW, full fresh (potable) water weight (including water heater), and
full LP-Gas weight.
• Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): is the value specified as the load carrying
capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire-ground interfaces.
When loading heavy objects such as tools, skillets, irons, and boxes of canned
goods, etc. keep them as low as possible - preferably on the floor. Try to hold
additional weight behind the axle to a minimum.
WARNING: Never add items such as generators, heavy toolboxes or
motorcycle racks to the back of the trailer. Weight behind the axle will tend to
magnify any sway that may occur when passing trucks or in gusty wind. If a
heavy generator is mounted on the rear bumper what may have been an almost
unnoticeable sway turns into a severe sway you may not he able to control.
NOTICE: Damage to your trailer caused by mounting heavy objects on the rear is
considered abuse, and is not covered by warranty.
