The term "Carrying Weight" is different to "Cargo Capacity"
29th March 2011
Carrying weight is an American term that is often used by USA manufacturers. It has been adopted here by some importers of USA built 5th wheels. Carrying weight is the amount of weight that a 5th wheel can legally carry (up to the ATM) but it also has to include such items as A/C, spare wheel, batteries, awning, full gas bottles and in some instances the free standing furniture in the 5th wheel. These items often add an aditional 200kg+ to the weight of the 5th wheel.
The term used by Australian & NZ manufacturers is cargo capacity. This term refers the weight that can legally be carried (up to the ATM) with the above items already accounted for. So the cargo capacity is a true indication of how much water, food, clothes, toys etc you can take in the 5th wheel.
