Funny visual. The reason I ask ...
We're going to Hershey RV show on Friday to thoroughly evaluate the small Class C's we've choosing between. On the short list are a couple of sprinters. I'm concerned about CCC. There seems to be some 'fuzzy' thinking (or at least fuzzy bloging) on the real CCC for the sprinter based vehicles. I know manufacturers post a label showing CCC of vehicle when it leaves the factory. That number doesn't include the dealer add-ons. I haven't yet met a dealer that can answer the 'how much does this RV weigh sitting right here and now, on your lot?' question. That worries me.
Someone suggested to me making a list of what we'd take on a trip, and adding it up. I did that, and am now trying to identify if I'm in line with other folks. We're 2 adults traveling without kids.
Thanks much for your insight.
If the dealer can't tell you within reason what it weighs they are very bad at math. For the last several years there is a placard on the driver's door jam that says how much stuff (people, water, cargo) you can put in an RV. It is based on THAT PARTICULAR RV and if the dealer adds more than 200 lbs of stuff they must amend the placard. Those numbers are based on a fully fueled RV with full LP.
If you have a Sprinter RV that says it has 1500 lbs of OCCC (on the door jam sticker), that Sprinter sitting on the lot with no water and full fuel/LP weighs 9530 lbs. See how easy it is?
