Trailer Cargo Capacity
Is it a red flag if the trailer Cargo Capacity is around 1500 lbs? I have notice a lot of trailers in the 24' to 26' range either have a 6500 - 6600 GVRW or a 7500 GVWR. Would you consider the ones ...

My camper was about 300 pounds heavier than the placard when I took it home. So that needs to be considered.
I think you are wise to consider the CCC as one of the weight factors.
My own 2014 Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS has an "advertised" dry weight of 3535 lbs ...
... but my particular unit arrived at the dealer with a stickered dry weight of 3815 lbs, a whopping 280 lbs heavier - and this is just a 19' couple's trailer!
To that I have to allow for the weight of a battery, water in the WH tank, and reserve capacity in the fresh water holding tank ... all in about 4000 lbs before I added anything else. :E It ALL counts so more CCC you have the better. :B

I would say that probably 90% of people I talk to in campgrounds have no idea what any of the weights are regarding their camper.
Absolutely agree.
