CCC question - Cargo Carrying Capacity
When figuring CCC, do you include the weight of the fuel or not? I can't seem to get a straight answer. I've searched the net and depending on what site you pull up, the answer is always different. One site tells me that the CCC is the unladen weight of the vehicle before water, cargo, people, etc., but if DOES include fuel. Other sites say that the weight of fuel needs to be added.
I know that there are going to be similar responses to this question so what I'm really looking for is some sort of "official" site or reference that I can look to. Either way, if I figured it correctly, I shouldn't have a problem with weight, but short of having it actually weighed, which I can't right now because I'm no where near a weigh station, so I'd like to find a written/published resource that I can look at.
My weights are as follows.
GVWR - 14050
UVW - 10901
Net CCC - 3149 lbs
Minus H2O -332
Propane - 65
Cargo -500
People & dogs -400
Cloths -200
Misc -200
Leaves 1452 lbs of CCC left over
Minus gas @ 335 lbs = 1117 lbs CCC remaining.
Do these numbers seem reasonable, or am I missing something?
