And SWR is Single Rear Wheel truck and
DWR is Dual Rear Wheel Drive truck or dually.

Also Coach can refer to any RV in general, although it is usually a MoHo.

Me too, though most of the lingo can be sorted out, took me a while to interpret DW and DH, then the light clicked on

You might also see a fifth wheel written as: FW or 5-r.

Then there's a toad, i.e. the vehicle towed behind a motorhome.
