I weighed my rig today. 2004 Duramax crew cab 2wd, and old 1993 Jayco 265 RKS fiver.
The truck included 20 gals of diesel (125), me (160), hitch (150), other stuff in front of hitch (70).
Trailer is ready to camp but not provisioned. No food, drinks, towels, clothing, books, detergents & chemicals, that sort of thing.
There is at most 250 lbs loaded aft of the axles, including 20 gallons of fresh water. There is at most 150 lbs loaded at the front of the trailer. Camping stuff.
OK, the scale weights:
Truck front axle 3800
Above plus truck rear axle 7920
Above plus trailer first axle 10940
All axles 14320 (GCWR 22000)
Trailer axles only (hitched) 6380
Trailer on landing gear lifted off truck 7420
Calculated:
Truck front 3800 (GAWR 4410)
Truck rear gross 4120 (GAWR 6084)
Truck rear net 3080 (without pin)
Truck total as loaded, no pin 6880 - 6900 (GVWR 9200)
Pin 1040 (14%)
Trailer front axle 3020
Trailer rear axle 3380
(3500 lb axles!)
There was no way to get a side to side split on the scale platform. It's a right rear kitchen though, so rear axle loading is obviously an issue. Especially the right side.

Dry axle weight 5110 (rotfl)
Dry pin 995
GVWR 7995
I estimate my truck to be ~7200 fully fueled, peopled, loaded and ready to hitch up a fiver. So I can take 2000 lbs of pin to hit the GVWR. The manual says 2500 max, but that's without DW, dog, gear, etc, I'm sure.
