We will be able to carry 2200 pounds of stuff. Does that sound adequate to you who have been out there a long time?

I don't remember just where I saw it, but the article I read said that most Full-timers carry around 3000 lbs.
I know we carry about 3500 lbs, but have found out that the more CCC that you have, the more you will carry.
I hope this helps. To me 22oo lbs would not be enough. We seem to need more than that.

We have 3 axels and can carry 3500 lbs...but there is no way I will carry that much. we are at 2300 lbs now and I think I will lesson that load...I like traveling light. We plan on going up in altitude this summer to get cool so I want less load to tow. Believe me we full time and 2300 lbs is alot of S T U F F.

It seems to add up quickly. After 2 1/2 years we're carrying slightly over 3300 pounds. Probably could shed 4-500# if we could find the time to work on it, but we're having too much fun traveling around to stop and work on it.

It all depends on what rig you have. I spent a winter online checking 5th wheel websites to see what 5er would be the best for us. Some of them did not have the CCC needed to FT.
I can't remember which one it was but we would have had to throw out half of what we carry
with us as it did not even have 2000# CCC.
Do not overload your RV. Some do and may regret it some day.
OMG, I am starting to sound like the weight police !!!
