This is especially true with trailers aimed at the minivan/CUV market.
they all have GVWR's of the magical 3500lbs., which is the most common towing capacities of these vehicles.
Some will have actual CCC's of around 200lbs., after deducting the weights of stuff not included in the brochure "dry" weight. Like awning, oven, spare tire, a/c, battery and so on.
and these are trailers aimed at families, whose stuff will certainly exceed 200lbs.
Not necessarily - this is very much up to how one chooses to pack, and what one chooses the pack. My cargo weighs in at 220 lbs fully loaded without the bikes, 350 lbs with. (For a family of 5, but I'm VERY careful about keeping the weight within limits.)
My trailer is a bit of an oddball - its CCC is higher than many much larger trailers (~2500 lbs if memory serves) - pretty ridiculous in a trailer this small.
