I have a camper that has a CCC of 2200 pounds according to the sticker. In reality, it’s more like 1800 pounds according to scale weights when empty. I am 1000 pounds +/- under gross weight when loaded.
Several members here state that they are at or over gross weight. Others say they will never hit gross weight. I probably won’t, either.
However, I’m in the camp of having a generous cushion in the weight department. I believe it will save extra wear and tear on the camper.
Kinda interesting that some people that gripe about the quality of campers in general have no problem saying it’s OK to go to the max.
Anyhow, it’s all a personal choice in the end.
