Dang you're right Desertcaptain. I didnt even realize what a low capacity rating it had compared to another one I was looking at. The Keystone passport 199ml, it has almost double. I wonder why 2 of the same size trailer would have such different capacity ratings.?
Usually low CCC is indicative of much lighter (cheaper) construction. I would look for something better built with a minimum of 1500#. We had a Pioneer Sprit 18CK (a very nice 22' by the way), that had a GVWR of 5,600 with CCC of 1966#. We typically were between 4,600 and 5,000# depending on where we were camping. Boon docking saw us at the higher number as we were carrying more water and firewood.
Also keep in mind that not all CG's have a dump station and it is not unusual for those that do to be out of order or the wait to use it prohibitively long. You can easily find yourself going down the mountain with full black and grey tanks which can add a lot of weight, often on roads where you will feel it. God luck!
