Podwan,

My 2015 178 has a sticker on it, left side, front. The empty weight is 2648, the GVW is 3757, the capacity is 1092 and it has a warning to account for the fresh water tank. The new dealer brochure says the capacity of a 178 is 1165. That may be due to 15" tires and an axle change, I have a 3500 Dexter.]]> Fri, 07 Apr 2017 15:48:18 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9633&PID=90695#90695 Cargo Carrying Capacity : Originally posted by COSPod 1000lb... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9633&PID=90694#90694 Author: mjlrpod

Also keep in mind a full load of water is ~300 lbs. While you can usually get water at the campground, you often can't dump, so have to factor the dirty water in.

Low CCC is main complaint on the 172.

MY 172 can carry 900 pounds of cargo per FR floorplan specs. I'm pretty sure its labeled to carry almost 1100 pounds. It is getting checked out now, but will be back next friday and i can confirm that.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the MAX it can weigh, Both for the rating on the trailer, and the weight on the tow vehicle. So you need to make sure you don't "move stuff from the pod to the truck.." and overload the truck.]]> Fri, 07 Apr 2017 07:17:06 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9633&PID=90668#90668 Cargo Carrying Capacity : Originally posted by Danielw1I... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9633&PID=90659#90659 Author: Podwan

Just double checked the CCC number, it is over 900. Still low, but more doable.

You completely answered my question. If one has too much stuff to stay under the CCC, those items can be transferred to the tow vehicle.

Thanks for replies!

Also, when the unit has a GVWR, have they already calculated tongue weight and CCC? Or do you have to add these figures to the GVWR?

If I understand correctly, it would be the additional weight that can be added to the trailer - as it travels down the road. This would include such things as: clothes, food, water in the tanks, etc. The trailer's chassis, suspension and tires are designed to carry only so much. So, yes, it would be the amount while towing. I hope this helps.]]> Thu, 06 Apr 2017 14:49:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9633&PID=90615#90615 Cargo Carrying Capacity : I have a question about CCC.

I have a question about CCC.
Is this amount the limit that you can have in your travel trailer while towing, or is it the limit you can have in your trailer while camping?
Example: One TT has a CCC of 620 lbs.
If this is the capacity during camping, our family will exceed it after our four bodies are loaded and the tanks are full.
If it's only for towing, it's doable. ]]> Thu, 06 Apr 2017 12:35:28 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9633&PID=90611#90611
