GVRW: "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating", means the maximum permissible wieight of the trailer. The GVRW is equal to or greater than the sum of the "Unloaded Vehicle Weight" plus the "Net Carrying Capacity".

UVW: "Unloaded Vehicle Weight" also called "Dry Weight", means the weight of the trailer as built by the factory. If applicable it includes full generator fuel, engine oil and coolants. The UVW does NOT include cargo, fresh water, Gray water, Black water, LP gas or accessories.

NCC: "Net Carrying Capacity", means the maximum weight of all personal belongings, food, fresh water, gray water, black water, LP gas, tools, accessories, etc., that can be carried in the trailer. NCC is equal to or less than GVWR minus UVW.
