Proof of Unladen Vehicle Weight (UVW)

Proof of Unladen Vehicle Weight (UVW)

Document we need from you

Shipping weight listed on Certificate of Origin (MCO)

OR

UVW Weight listed on trailer label

This document/photo is usually only needed for trailers and RV’s being registered in South Dakota. Unladen Vehicle Weight (UVW) is also referred to as the dry weight or shipping weight. This IS NOT the same as GVWR

This information is generally affixed to the trailer/RV on a plaque or sticker, in your owner’s manual, on the MCO (Certificate of origin), or we can accept a letter from the manufacturer listing the weight.

If you cannot find this info, it’s best to contact the dealer or manufacturer for a picture of the MCO. We can assist with this if needed.
