GCWR
My GVWR is 11,000 pounds but nowhere on the door is the GCWR. I am under the GVWR but need to know how much weight I can tow. Thanks I added this to find out how to EDIT my INFO. EDIT---------...

yr, make, model and chassis?
the amount of weight you can safely tow will be the lesser of the following:
- the gross combination weight rating of the MH minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded and configured for travel
- the weight rating of your hitch
- the weight rating of your tow bar
a hint at the GCWR would be the weight rating of the hitch. and ref the GVWR next time you’re at a scale get separate axle weights and compare to the GAWR (gross axle weight rating for each axle). it IS possible to be overweight on one axle and still weigh less than the GVWR. i know from personal experience. also, when weighing be sure you are fully loaded...food, fuel, clothing, supplies, pets, water, LP, people, etc.
