tion at GVWR (GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING), NOT at the GCWR (GROSS

COMBINED WEIGHT RATING). A separate functioning brake system is required

for any towed vehicles or trailers weighing more than 1000 lbs. (450 kg) when

fully loaded. NEVER exceed the GVWR (GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING), or

the GAWR (GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING) speciﬁed on a motorhome certiﬁca-

tion label.
