Unless your going to be towing either trailer fully loaded the GVWR is just a guide. What I recommend is using the dry weight and adding approx. 1200-1500lbs to it. This would get you close to your real world ready to travel weight. Some trailers have a very low CCC, some have a CCC that is very high. For instance my trailer has a 4100lb CCC so if I went by the GVWR I probably wouldn't have bought it, however the dry weight is 7100lbs and the GVWR IS 11,200lbs. The trailer weighs 9200lbs loaded for a week long trip.
So I would recommend taking the dry weight and adding 1200-1500lbs to it. Much better to use the weights you will be towing at instead of a weight you will likely never see!
