In the newer models of trailers there is supposed to be a GVW tag/label in one of the kitchen cabinets that will show all the weights and also the options for that trailer. The tag on the outside SHOULD have the empty weight including the full propane tanks. You can then figure the difference that you can add to the trailer and be under the GVW AND the GAWR. The best way to know is first weight the tow vehicle alone with full fuel and passengers. Then weigh the combo and figure the actual pin weight and the trailer weight.

I just bought the first truck in my life (at age 66) so I'm totally new at this hauling and towing business and so I have to ask what may appear to be a stupid question: where does one go to weigh one's truck and/or trailer? Do you just join the line at one of those highway scales on the interstate? or would that result in some 18 wheeler maniac turning me into a pancake..?
