towing a 850lb pop up camper with 2004 Toyota Matrix xrs-6 speed manual?

The total weight allowed is 1500lbs for this car..I towed it on flat valley land-piece of cake..Now, I am going up to Yosemite and mountains..I just saw on the door that total weight: cargo and passengers is 860lbs. I will have myself (120lbs) and 2 poodles (28lbs total), cold box/dry food etc. I'll buy water at the valley store to keep weight down. Will I be ok? I just wonder why the manual says 1500lbs total weight for passengers, cargo etc. and, then on the door it says 860lbs? This is a vintage Coleman 1980 or so Jamestown one-wing pop-up camper-7ft square box...what do you think? I still have not mastered back up..alas!

    I think that the 860 lbs is the cargo carirying capacity for the car. The 1500 lbs. Is the total capacity for the car and the trailer. CCCR meaning combined cargo capacity recommended. The total weight of everything except the car cannot exceed 1500 lbs.
