You are thinking correctly. my trailer has a dry weight of 7100lbs and a GVWR of 11,200 lbs. yes, it has a 4100lb CCC! its not a toy hauler just a model sitting on a larger frame and axles. loaded for a trip Im at 9200lbs. I do pack heavy because of the high CCC. so my weights are going to be more than the average person. however for the average person 12-1500lbs is a good number to add to the dry weight to figure out what you can tow. I too have seen trailers with a very low CCC. I`ve seen a 30ft bunkhouse with super slide with an 800lb CCC! I don't know how they expect a family of four to pack for a trip?
