   Thanks for the info y'all, super helpful. Coming back to the original CCC question, is 400-500 lbs CCC enough to make work for our small family? Towing considerations aside, just want to make sure that that amount of CCC is sufficient to be doable. I don't think we're going to be packing anything particularly heavy, but given that we're first-timers, I just don't have a clue whether that seems reasonable or whether it's just obviously too little carrying capacity.

	That is pretty normal for light trailers. Since that number assumes your fresh water and water heater tanks are full you should be ok as long as you don't go crazy. Leave those gold bars at home. Also, you don't have to fill your FWT if you have access to water at your destination. If you do plan on boondocking most folks opt for dual batteries which adds another roughly 80 lbs to your load. That weight is almost all on the tongue so be sure to measure that. Load your heavier stuff in the tow vehicle, as far forward as possible.
