Some Weight/Numbers Help Please

I'm considering buying a 2014 Newmar Ventana LE and wanted to get the opinion of those smarter than me about what I will be able to load and tow.

Here are the specs:
Front GAWR-12,000
Rear GAWR-20,000

GVWR-31,000
GCWR-33,000

App.UVW-26,100
App.NCC-4,900 Not sure what NCC stands for or what this number denotes.

I tow a small pickup truck that weighs 4300 lbs. so if I'm looking at this correctly will I have 6900 lbs for GCWR. Minus my truck of 4300 leaves me 2600lbs for people,gear,clothes,propane fluids etc.
Does this look right?
  • Cant wait that only leaves him 2000 lbs. towing capacity and if it is that low better check the hitch rating. May only be 3500 lbs. and not 5K.
  • UVW (MH empty) 26,100, GVWR (MH loaded 31000 = NCC (Nominal Cargo Capacity)4,900. If you gross out the MH carrying capacity @ 31000 that only leave you with a 3,000 towing capacity. GCWR= Gross Combined (MH & tow veh) weight 33000.
