Depends on chassis. One of the selling points for us with the e450 based Vegas 24.1 was as follows: 14,500 GVW, 22,000 GCVW. We tow an open trailer with my drag car on it along with generator and spare tires. Trailer weight is 5,500 average.
The yellow door stick for occupant and cargo capacity showed 3199 lbs. This is why we elected an e450 based unit over e350. The unit empty is a little over 11,300 lbs. Adding tools, food, clothes and water we are usually at 12,800 to 13, 800 because we always travel with water tank full. Sometimes carry extra water for multi day events.
When trailer added, we go down down road anywhere from 18,300 to 19,300. Well below the 22,000 GCVW rating.
Tricky parts of this are axle weights and tongue weights. I had to adjust placement of tools and heavier items to limit front axle weight without trailer. I also had to move racecar back on trailer to limit tongue weight.
We are both pleased with ability to merge and keep up with traffic with or without trailer.
