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 ...

Our numbers don't jive.
GVWR = 6800 lbs.
UVW on sticker inside a cabinet = 5870 lbs
Brochure UVW = 5237 lbs
Actual wt. of TT as picked up from dealer = 6477 lbs
CCC on sticker on exterior = 930 lbs, calculated with full FW tank & HWH.
Going by actual wt. of TT as picked up at the dealer, available cargo capacity is a mere 702 lbs (with empty FW tank & HWH). But if we go by the exterior sticker and take away the wt. of the FW tank (333 lbs) & HWH (46 lbs), the available cargo capacity would be 1309 lbs.
An actual CCC of 702 lbs in a 29' TT is flippin' low! Sure glad I went to a scale before the TT got home and that the total weight of camping stuff & mods is only 674 lbs. We never tow with water in any of the holding tanks otherwise would be well over the GVWR.
