Cargo Capacity Guidelines?
Floorplan, cargo carrying capacity, and storage volume are mentioned as the "big three" when it comes to choosing a motorhome. Floorplans seem to be a personal choice, but I'm not sure about the last...

We (my wife and I) have 2800 pounds of CCC and would like to have 3500 pounds.
I have seen a number of motor homes (including some diesel pushers) that have as little as 360 pounds of CCC. That is hardly enough for a weekend much less full timing. For more info on CCC and the newer rating OCCC see:

To get CCC from OCCC subtract the weight of the water and the people on board from the OCCC. That leaves you with the amount of cargo you can safely carry.
