Newbie Seeking Some Information
I'm interested in purchasing a small travel trailer. I would like to know the best place to look for a (21'-23') small, lightest weight, dual axle. I know there are plenty of light weight single axle ...

Not sure why this is necessary. For analysis and illustration: my trailer has a UVW of 4337 and a CCC of 1527. So, if I'm understanding things correctly the GVWR would be 5864. Which I take to mean that if I loaded it to capacity I would be exceeding your 5000 lb desired max. However, I have discretion about how much to load it. If I load it with 663 lb I'll be at the 5000 lb, yourself-imposed max. Just because the trailer CAN carry more doesn't mean it has to.
What am I missing here?

What your missing is how misleading UVW is as it doesn't include Propane tanks, battery, any of the tanks contents, a mounted WDH and every item you stock into trailer.
What I've found on every trailer I've owned is the final weight will be much closer to GVWR and nowhere near the dry weight or UVW.
