Our CCC is about the same as the OP, we've gotten by just fine for 8 years (2 adults, no kids). Bikes and genny go in the truck bed so that helps. Mostly we travel light as storage is pretty limited anyway. We rarely travel with more then 1/3 tank of fresh water filling when we arrive at the first CG and dump the grey and black tanks as needed. I'm sure at times it's overloaded to some extent but again, we've had no problems. The only real weight in the trailer is water/waste, the batteries and the propane. I'd be surprised if the rest adds up to a couple hundred pounds. Again, we have the truck bed we use.
Something to keep in mind... the tongue weight on ours is stated as somewhere around 300 lbs, in actuality it's close to 600. 60 lbs of propane, 100 lbs of batteries, and the fresh water is in front of the axle.
While I certainly wouldn't suggest someone buy a trailer with a low CCC I've never lost any sleep over it. The trucks I've had handle the little trailer just fine. Of course I knew nothing of GVWR's or CCC's when I bought it.
