1995 BMC 37 Major Overweight Problem

[Neil & Pat]

Hi Howard, thanks for writing. The official definition of CCC is the
difference from the GVWR less the actual weights of the four corners less
the weight of a full tank of fuel, full fresh water, full propane, all
factory installed options and a #154 allowance for each passenger on board.
The number of passengers is based on the number of sleeping position and the
quantity of seat belts present; hence the newest weight term SCWR which now
appears on the RIVA dataplate. What capacity a remains after all of this is
considered is CCC or Cargo Carrying Capacity. The old term NCC or Net
Carrying Capacity was similar but had no allowance for the passengers on
board and the tank of fresh water. There are many other terms used in the
RV world such as empty weight and carrying capacity but none of them carry
any validity by virtue of a industry standard.

The weight remaining as you described it would be the CCC only if the coach
was fully loaded with fuel, water, propane and a full compliment of
passengers; then it would equal the CCC.

Neil,
Is the CCC rating, the GVRW of each Axel, minus the Actual Weight of each
Axle.
