Storage or Cargo Capacity Numbers

Curious as to what other Full time rated 5vers are spec'd for Cargo Carry Capacity. Not what you have but whats on the sticker.

My sticker says 3355 after the weight they deducted for 680 pounds of fresh water and 80 for propane.

Unless your boon docking why carry the extra water weight. When traveling we only carry enough water for potty breaks.

Safe travels

We FTd and ALWAYS had a FULL fresh water tank......and have done so for many years
Got caught ONCE with empty tank and Main line to CG was broken...no water service.
Had to purchase gallons of bottles of water for our trip.
Weight of full tank is NOT going to affect mileage, can help with stability and towing.
Well worth carrying the water.


As for our CCC on our 5th wheel
GVWR ---- 14375 (scaled weight 13,873)
UVW -------10218

80 gallons water ----664
2 propane cylinders ....58
Total CCC available ....3435


7 yrs of FTng..........weighed truck/trailer yearly
Could open ANY compartment, cabinet, drawers etc and SEE everything in it.
No shuffling stuff around, hunting to find something.


LESS is MORE!
