I trying to understand the relationship between weight ratios so I can make sure I know what capacities are and to ensure I don't exceed them. I would like to know if the simple formula below is correct. I assume everyone would know what the abbreviated variable are.
Perhaps:
GVW = Curb Wt + Payload
GVW = Curb Wt + Cargo Wt + Hitch Wt.
Max. GTW = GCWR - GVW
Yes if you mean the first applies to the tow vehicle and the second to the fifth wheel and it is hooked up.
Max tow weight would mean the GCWR - Tow vehicle GVW
I see what demiles is saying. Empty hitch weight will be included in the manufacturer’s empty curb weight.
