Grand Design Imagine 2850RL
Looking at a Grand Design Imagine 2850RL. We love the layout, gray tank is large 71 gallons with a 52 gallon fresh. My concern is the CCC. It is a sparse 1853lb per the yellow tag on the side. ...

I am looking at the GD 2600RB and have the same issue. It only has a 1200lb CCC which is very low. Have you checked out www.GrandDesignOwnersforum.com There are a lot of people on that sight, I have gotten myself in trouble on that sight for pointing out what I believe is a design error in regards to GD's CCC. People don't like hearing bad things about their trailers. There is also a Facebook page devoted to GD, more people looking to do upgrades or how to on that sight than technical stuff. We really like the 2600RB, but haven't purchased yet due to the CCC. We dry camp a lot and carrying full water tanks really take a bite out of the CCC. Have heard a lot of positive reports about GD products.
We just bought the 2950rl yesterday. Ours has 1855lb CCC but my thinking is that I have a 3/4 ton truck and even with my wife kids and I and the tongue weight I will still have about 1000lbs payload left in the truck. So I'm looking at is a having 2800lbs between the 2. I could not find another trailer that had as much equipment, great tank sizes and an awesome floorplan! We got there when the dealership opened and got our pick of the litter. They sold all the 2950rl they had in the lot before noon.
The last 6 years with our jayco we were running 1500lbs with 40 gallons of freash water and all our junk for a familty of 4. We will be cautious with what we load in the trailer but don't anticipate any problems.
Good luck with your decision.
