Look for the GVWR on the trailer, should be on left front of trailer or in a cabinet in the kitchen. Next take the empty trailer to a scale a weigh it. The difference is your CCC.

Yea, I know how to calculate it and many websites give you the CCC under the specs. I'm more concerned with making sure we choose a rig with adequate CCC. I've read two entries just today about families who bought rigs with inadequate CCC. We are a family of 5 and when you add a fully stocked kitchen, W/D, generator, 5 mountain bikes, everyone's gear and any additional modifications you plan to make, the numbers can add up quickly! Was just wondering what others have experienced.
To start... what length trailer are you considering? With that number of people I would be looking at 35 to 40'. We have been FTing for 20 years with two on board in a 38' NuWa. Even that gets crowded with only 2. Reason for question, you might look at TH's, with the garage converted for kids and supplies. Good Luck
