I look at CCC as the `cushion' available for that particular rig. To me the greater the cushion the more rugged is the build.
Not necessarily ... manufacturers often use the exact same suspension components (axles, tires, etc) across an entire lineup, whether the trailer in question has a UVW of 3500 lbs or twice that, in which case the smaller, lighter trailer will have a much greater CCC. Such was the case with my own KZ Spree which wore the same suspension as much longer, heavier Sprees in the same line up - great for me as I had well in exess of a ton of CCC whereas friends with larger models could barely get by with the available CCC and remain within the trailer's ratings. The same holds true with my current 19' Coachmen Freedom Express - over a ton of CCC but not anywhere near as much with some of the larger models in the same line up.
