First, 800 lbs of cargo is very conservative. Folks that "travel light" will add 1000 lbs of cargo, families add around 1500 lbs, with the average being 1200 lbs. 3 gallons of water is unlikely to be useful...that's not enough for the pump to pick up from the bottom of the tank.
Where did you hear that? Is that based your own "stuff"? I've weighed mine. Everything we put in the trailer, excluding food and bicycles (because we don't always take our bikes), weighs close to 400#. That's for 2 adults. In fact when we got the bigger trailer last year, we dumped a lot stuff that wasn't getting used, so it could be less than that now. I can't imagine what people need that would be them up over 1000# of stuff. but to each his own...
