CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity), used Sept 2000 – present, means GVWR minus the following: UVW, full fresh (potable) water weight (including that for the water heater) full LP gas weight, and SCWR. Note: Remember that optional accessories or equipment not included in the UVW will take up part of the Cargo Carrying Capacity.
SCWR (Sleeping Capacity Weight Rating) is the manufacturer–designated number of sleeping positions multiplied by 154 lbs (70 kgs).

Subtract the weight of the propane fuel (LP gas) Propane weighs 4.2 pounds per gallon 50.4 pounds (LP gas) (12 gallons x 4.2 pounds)
Subtract the weight of the fresh water on board Water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon 207.5 pounds (fresh water) (25 gallons x 8.3 pounds)
The result is the cargo carrying capacity (CCC) of the vehicle 4,318.1 pounds (CCC) (cargo carrying capacity) It's important to understand that the cargo carrying capacity definition, as outlined for you here, is a weight limit, or maximum weight, as determined by the vehicle's manufacturer.

By definition, SCWR is based on the number of sleeping positions (6). Anything else is not SCWR, but some other weight. The intention of the required numbers is mainly just to provide some consistent comparisons between units.
In terms of loading your own RV, you of course only need to account for the actual weight of the people traveling.

Here's how to calculate an RV's cargo carrying capacity:
Start with the vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) 20,000 pounds (GVWR)
Subtract the vehicle's unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) The UVW is a manufacturer provided weight measurement of the vehicle that includes a full tank (or tanks) of fuel, coolant and oil 14,500 pounds (UVW)
Subtract the weight of the sleeping capacity weight rating (SCWR) The SCWR is another manufacturer provided weight measurement (a maximum weight) determined by multiplying 154 pounds times the number of sleeping positions 924 pounds (SCWR) (6 sleeping positions x 154 pounds)
Subtract the weight of the propane fuel (LP gas) Propane weighs 4.2 pounds per gallon 50.4 pounds (LP gas) (12 gallons x 4.2 pounds)
Subtract the weight of the fresh water on board Water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon 207.5 pounds (fresh water) (25 gallons x 8.3 pounds)
The result is the cargo carrying capacity (CCC) of the vehicle 4,318.1 pounds (CCC) (cargo carrying capacity) It's important to understand that the cargo carrying capacity definition, as outlined for you here, is a weight limit, or maximum weight, as determined by the vehicle's manufacturer.

CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity), used Sept 2000 – present, means GVWR minus the following: UVW, full fresh (potable) water weight (including that for the water heater) full LP gas weight, and SCWR. Note: Remember that optional accessories or equipment not included in the UVW will take up part of the Cargo Carrying Capacity.
