How much does a friggin 32' rig weigh? I'm looking at the numbers and all the manufacturer gives you is the weight restrictions, not the dry weight or GVW. Without weighing (something you would do after purchase) how are you suppose to do the math ahead of time?

I just posted on another thread of yours, and can see why you are confused. You are getting some just plain wrong information. People like to generalize and make blanket statements. If you look at those stickers, all the information you need is right there. The Ford E450 has a GVWR of 14,500#. The OCCC figure, is the weight of occupants and cargo carrying ability you have on that vehicle, that would bring you up to the GVWR. If you deducted that OCCC figure from the GVWR, that gives you the weight of the vehicle including full fuel tank and engine fluids (it doesn't include any fresh water in the tank).
You don't need a Super C or a Class A to get a half decent OCCC. The 31H has an OCCC of somewhere around 3,000#, which is actually more than a lot of Class As that a number of people are telling you that you need. My 31K has an OCCC of 3,275#.
On the other hand, I have an older 2001 31C, which is actually about a foot shorter than my 31K. That vehicle has an OCCC of just a little over 1,000#, which wouldn't be too hard to meet or exceed.

Thank you! Actually, thank you for everyone that came back to help me sort this out and point me towards the OCCC #!

Funny you mention the 31K. I somehow overlooked this model initially but realized it was the floor plan I liked without a rear slide! So it actually gives us the most room with the most cargo capacity. Now its just deciding if the bunk beds are worth it in the long run as the kids get older and as someone mentioned above giving the a fulltime bed, so they are out of my way cooking.
