I hope you understand this reply. The RV industry is set up on absolute balanced measures. The actual measures could be far from the calculated balanced measure, I've not settled on measure to de-rate the trailer GVW, but I'm thinking that axle weight without the tongue weight subtracted is a good place to start. Most trailers are severely out of balance both left to right and front to back. To get a scale weight and distribute it between two axles is not represented of what is actually happening. I try to have one tire capacity equal to 75% of the calculated two axle load. This will give you capacity to cover most of the un-equal load conditions.
