Everyone travels differently. A good rule for full-timers is 1500/person, now that's not all in clothes and shoes!! That includes everything you'll pack - dishes, pots, BBQ, linens, books, computer, printer, bathroom stuff, tools, ladder, hobby equipments (fishing, sewing, etc.) It really adds up.
It's very advisable after you've packed it up to get it weighed. You'll be surprised. Overweight vehicles are dangerous and will blow tires.
Surely you can find a suitable floorplan in many manufacturer's lines with good carrying capacity. Also, a more top line generally has better capacity - better axles and bigger tires. Sometimes it's necessary to shop out of your immediate area. First look online for comparisons and then find a dealer. Keep in mind that dealers don't usually carry every model so you may not even see in person what you want. It's a big job. :) Good luck!
Ayayay!! A BIG job!!! I feel like I'm cramming for finals on something I never learned!! There is sooooooooo much to learn to do it right!! I feel overwhelmed at times with all the aspects to learn and keep in mind!!
That low CCC was on a Carriage Cameo!! I loved the FP and would have gone for it, until I found out about CCC just yesterday!!!
When I did some research, turns out this model was introduced in 2009. In 2010, they upped the CCC by another 1,000. I can't believe that carriage would even release a 36+' coach with such low CCC. That knocks them off the pedestal for me.
