In our case, one full holding tank will put us over the GVWR and we only have 555 lbs of cargo and mods/upgrades. The TT as picked up from the dealer was 190 lbs over the factory UVW (factoring in propane and battery). It might be that they don't include the weight of options in UVW, just don't know. Lack of industry standards doesn't help. Our NCC is way off what the factory would suggest it is. I just don't trust factory numbers. For sure, some manufacturers are realistic in their NCC/CCC numbers but how to know for certain?
As I mentioned our Freedom Express has an advertised base weight of 3535 lbs but as it arrived at our dealer it's actual dry weight as indicated on the yellow sticker affixed to the front street side of the trailer was 280 lbs more at 3815 lbs. :E One of several reasons we chose this particular model was it's generous CCC which easily took care of that extra 280 lbs. :B I also travel with the fresh water tank either partially or completely full and because I service my tanks here at the house with a FloJet Waste Macerator Pump I always travel home with the black water tank nearly or completely full. A generous CCC takes care of this extra weight so it's for these reasons I think the OP is correct in looking for a trailer offering a CCC of at least 2000 lbs. :)
