You have to know what is already included and what isn't. 900 lbs on one could be equal to 2000 lbs on another; depending on what is included in the number and what isn't.
Not sure I follow you. IF the tag says not to carry more than 900 lbs and another unit of similar size and floor plan allows 2700, why wouldn't I want to buy the one that provides more NCC. As I understand it, the last thing that occurs after the trailer is fully built out is that it is weighed. So that build out number will include all the options & extras the manufacturer added to the base model(Which is probably the NCC number found in the sales brochure). To me the NCC seems to me to a very important number to consider when buying. A trailer with a 900 lb. NCC would most certainly be overloaded with all the necessities a family of four would pack for a weekend jaunt. Saying nothing about adding a generator. More weight than what the axles, frames and tires were designed for cannot be a good thing.
