What is Curb Weight in RVing?
In RVing, curb weight refers to the total weight of the RV or camper when it’s fully fueled, stocked with essential fluids (such as oil and coolant), but without any passengers, cargo, or additional equipment. This weight gives a baseline for how heavy the RV is before adding any load, helping RV owners calculate how much additional weight can be safely carried or towed. It’s crucial for determining the payload capacity and ensuring the RV stays within safe limits for driving.
Curb Weight vs Gross Weight
Gross weight, unlike curb weight, includes the total load of the RV or camper van, such as passengers, cargo, and equipment, while curb weight only accounts for the camper itself with fluids but without any load.
