Cargo Carrying Capacity (lbs) 860
Just looking for someone to tell me we will be fine. I hope!
Since you've already purchased this trailer it's a little late to be asking for advice but had you asked beforehand I'd have suggested you consider just how little CCC this trailer offers. 860 lbs may not sound unreasonable but you want to remember that's based on the trailer's unloaded dry weight as it sat at the factory with no battery, usually no propane in the tanks, no options or accessories that your particular unit may be equipped with, nor any content at all in any of the holding tanks. Factoring in these can reduce that CCC by several hundred pounds, leaving you with not a whole lot in real world cargo carrying capacity to work with, forcing you to instead carry some of your personal cargo in the truck that you hadn't planned to, which in itself will further eat away at the truck's payload capacity. As I said, a little late now but you're at least better to be aware of this limitation than not.
yeah, i'd be interested in the OP posting what the yellow sticker factory weight is.
get an idea how much off the fictional "dry" weight is from the actual factory weight.
