OK, I understand and retract what I said about your statement being wrong. I apologize. However, I think that the majority of people in this situation will "NOT" load their vehicle like they would be traveling just to go get it weighed. It's just too much trouble and you'll always forget to include something. It's much better to weigh the truck like it's normally driven and then keep track of everything you put in or on it when you get ready to pull the trailer.
We used a standard bathroom scale to weigh everything when we would go camping. I also had a Sherline tongue scale that allowed me to know exactly what my trailer's tongue weight was so that I could adjust items in the trailer if needed.

Not a problem Ron and I agree with you about not wanting to load all the stuff for camping. But if you got most in there you would have a decent idea of what you're working with. And if a hundred pounds is going to put you overweight, you may be working a bit too close to the line.
Those Sherline scales are nice, I have one for the axles on my toyhauler.
