Generally a dry pin wt will be at least 18 percent. When batteries, propane, basement items added, under bed storage, maybe front bedroom closet filled, you will be between 20 to 25 percent of total FW wt on the pin. About the only true way to find actual loaded to camp pin wt, is to go to the scales, doing the weighing of truck axles without FW, and reweighing with FW added.
You will want at least 20 percent loaded FW pin wt, to avoid other issues, such as chucking.
