Frequently Asked Questions
-
In your tow car’s manual, you’ll find how much weight your car can pull in two measurements: GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating). After you know what your car can pull, take your tow vehicle and trailer to a weighing station.
-
An overweight trailer can sway and even cause tire blowouts on the road. To avoid overloading your trailer, know what the limitations of the trailer and tow vehicle are. Plus, be mindful of loading and passenger weight.
-
Remember to weigh your trailer before you adventure out. Fill up all of your water tanks and fluids as it will give you a much clearer picture of how much your trailer weighs.
If you create the habit of leaving home underweight, additional souvenirs, passengers, and supplies won’t cause your trailer to become overweight.
