I had a 2004 Newmar Kountry Star 34BLWB. Weight loaded at scales with full fresh water and packed for a week was as follows.
Complete Trailer = 15,620#
Axle Weight = 13,060#
Pin weight = 2,560#
Newmar stated DRY weights for comparison.
GVWR = 16,000
Complete Trailer = 12,735
Axle Weight = 10,379
Pin Weight = 2,356
Strong well made units. I had some hub, bearing, and brake issues and the leaf springs were shot when I traded so that is area that would concern me. I had 7000# axles and suspension which was to close to the limit in my opinion for a trailer rated at 16,000 GVWR.
On the very positive side -- I had dual pane windows and insulation was very good for that build time. Had no issues winter camping in northern MI in 10 degree weather. Frames were built in house and absolutely no flex. By far the strongest frame out there which is part of why I purchased.
