UVW: UNLOADED vehicle weight.
That’s what the unit weighs with no cargo ( food, clothing, water, etc).

Well that is what the unloaded weight should be, it should be unit specific.

I think you can find this UVW on the side of every camper on a white sticker and it will also have the CCC and gross weight (UVW plus CCC = Gross Weight).

Typically, yes, it's in two places on each RV. It's on the two stickers on the roadside front corner of the trailer and it's on the orange/yellow sticker on the main entry door (or screen door) frame on the curb side of the trailer.

Why do you need this useless number? It's of absolutely no use in you're figures.

Lol I agree ... it’s like knowing how much you weighed in high school..... has nothing to do with what size jeans you wear today

Duh......
Yea, I get that now. I was thinkin some of the TT's I'm lookin at have, say, an xtra A/C unit, or upgraded interior which I was thinkin would add weight. But I now realize, duh... those additional weights would be included in the UVW from the factory. Never claimed to be bright.....

Not that wrong of thinking....actually when a dealer adds an extra ac they do not print a new sticker for side of trailer...that’s why it’s important to weigh at a scale.
Or for trying to figure out before purchase you could add the weights of additional options to weight on sticker to ballpark. But need a scale to be accurate

It’s all good. We all were new at one point, and even now, I’m still learning.
