Settle an argument about CCC

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

    thank you, that is what I figured I guess the ones I looked at didn't have it figured and the ones he looked at did. Can you recommend any good quality makes or models that may have a good leftover ccc? TIA

    I'm assuming you're talking about a 5th wheel since this was posted in the 5th wheel forum.

    Try to find the GVWR and the shipped/dry weight. Subtract the smaller number from the larger, that is the CCC. Most shipped/dry weights will not include full propane tanks, battery/ies, and other misc. items, and I don't believe there is any hard and fast "rule" about what the CCC is based on, except the above formula. It just depends on how each company figures theirs.
