A different weight question
I do not have a good understanding on how GVWR is applied to a travel trailer rig. The question is whether the tongue weight and it's effects have to be counted in both the truck and trailer weights...

There is not one formula for determining the max weight. Need to apply several formulas and if any are over you need to adjust your equipment to stay in the ratings.
GVWR of each vehicle, GAWR for each axle, and GCWR for the total. These are separate calculations. If any of these are over, you are over the rating. They work together to make sure all is balanced. Under one rating does not allow you to ignore the others.
The #3 where you seem to be counting twice is two separate calculations. When you are on the scale nothing is counted twice.
