So my husband and I are currently getting things in order to live full time in an RV with our 2 children ( at least for a year) in order to travel.

I have a concern with purchasing a rig that leave little ccc and want to avoid it

We seem to be getting conflicting info

Does the CCC weight include assumed full tank weight and sleeping capacity or no?

I say no based off what I read but my husband showed me an article where 154lbs per sleeping capacity and full tank weight was assumed and included in the total weight before the CCC ( as in not additional numbers to take out of the stickered CCC)

I hope I am explaining this correctly we are very new to all of this but are very excited and dedicated to assuming the lifestyle TIA

Jayco, at least, has a yellow sticker on each unit that tells you what the net CCC is for =that= unit, and it assumes full propane (1 or 2 tanks) and 1 battery. It also gives you the weight of a full tank of water, though that is not figured in to the net CCC on the sticker and you'd have to deduct that from the net if you do plan on traveling with full water. Personally, I travel with minimal fresh water until I get to the point where I =need= to fill up prior to heading to our boondock camp site. If going to a full-hookup CG, then I don't bother filling up at all.

Frankly, what does sleeping capacity have to do with anything, as you're, I hope, not going to have passengers in the FW as you travel. I'm much more concerned with how much it weighs going down the road, where it'll be pounded by our gloriously fantastic interstates and state highways. (sarcasm=off) I hope you're not confusing the FW's CCC and the truck's payload capacity, here.
