CCC = 2545. But, I imagine that CCC is based on having eight average people in the RV. We're a family of four (two little kids) so instead of CCC based on the average weight of eight adults at (8 x 150 = 1200 lbs) we would be just under 500 lbs. That gives me an extra 700 lbs to play with... making CCC for us 2545+700 = 3245.
So, I believe that I have the CCC. The tongue max is 500 lbs. But, given feedback I am beginning to question whether that 500 lbs of tongue weight is more like only 100 or 200 lbs before handling becomes a problem.
You may want to double check this. In every rig I have owned, passengers were part of cargo. So, CCC=2545-500=2045. The max weight of your rig is what? 22k lbs? It doesn't matter if 1 or 100 people are in it, it still can't weigh more than that. Well, okay, it can, but the chassis isn't rated for it.
