Should be a label usually on a pantry or closet door the has all that info if it was not removed. Then I guess you have to weigh the coach to really see if you are over weight.

We have two stickers, one behind the driver's seat and one in the far rear closet. However, the only true way to find this info is to weigh the RV and subtract that number from the GVWR (and compare the axle weights to the axle ratings).

There should be a sticker on the wall by the driver's seat. Here is the brochure for your RV; the info is on page 19. http://fleetwoodrv.com/frvlibrary/do...2007_pro_b.pdf

The stickers list the empty gross weight, no load capacity , towing yes. I think I will call Fleetwood and see what they say.

The simplest, and most accurate, way is to weigh the coach, then take that number and subtract it from the listed GVWR - the result is how much stuff you can load into the coach.

The CCC is "supposed" to be posted somewhere on a data sheet in the RV. It was likely removed by the previous owner for some reason.

I weighed my coach, full of fuel (100 gal.) and luggage, and two passengers. Weight 27,280 lbs., looks like my coach will carry up to 32,000 pounds.

The CCC yellow sticker should also be on the inside of the front screen door at the bottom.

GVWR is the max weight for the MH when fully loaded.
GCWR is the max weight of the MH and any towed vehicle...combined.

My weight exceeded the GVWR but it came in less then the GCWR. I will not be towing.
I will use the CAT Scale tomorrow instead of going with the weight I received from a dump waste station.
