Is GVWR the same as the curb weight of my trailer?

I just purchased a 22 ft Columbia. Registration requires a weight but none on the title. I looked at the tag on the side and saw 7220 for GVWR. Am I pulling that weight WITHOUT water or other amenities?

GVWR is the totally unloaded weight of your camper and all the pounds you are able to add safely. Usually folks don't get their trailers loaded that much. What is a 22 ft Columbia? Is that a Keystone product and if so, what is the year and model number. You will have a sticker on your camper with the dry weight called CCC sometimes and the GVWR; I would give them the dry weight I guess.

GVWR is the trailer's maximum allowed weight when fully loaded.

Curb weight is an automotive weight.

GVW/Dry Weight is what the vehicle weighed when it left the factory.

Once a consumer has control of the vehicle, the GVW is it's weight whenever it's weighed by the consumer or on some scales.

For your trailer, 7220 GVWR would be the registration weight. It's the maximum allowed weight for your trailer.

wouldn't there be a spec connected to the camper vin for the gvw? The title has no weight whatsoever issued from Oregon. Ny state requires a weight for registration and without a registration it cannot be taken for a scale weigh. The tag calls GVWR 7220 LBS. IF they want GVW, how do I acquire that?

That's because they haven't been manufactured for nearly 20 years...
