Personally, I would recommend one estimate about 1200lbs base then about 100 to 150lbs more per person. I wouldn't plan for under say 1500 for a family of say 4 as a fairly safe estimate. Now if you start throwing in cases of beer, etc. that would be extra.
Thanks Larry. Using 1500 for our family, we'd still be within limits for my TV with Trailer A.
If we use the full GCVW, then Trailer A goes a little beyond what we should tow. But it seems a little odd to consider CCC as a reason to NOT get a trailer when that number seems larger than we'd realistically approach.
