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. Joe and Sherri

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. Fred

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 !!! Bob
