If only that were true.... sadly it is not. What appears as a dry weight varies, with little if any rhyme or reason, from manufacturer to manufacturer. No one ever drives a "dry" / empty RV and until you load it for a normal trip and take it to the local scale you will have no idea what you are dealing with.
Additionally manufacturers fudge (as in lie, provide alternate facts etc.}, as to what the dry tongue weight will be. Most will use 10 per cent when they know it should be at least 13 or more just to make their rig sound more towable. Dry weights are absolutely useless and believing them or anyone who quotes them to you is a huge mistake.

It is. I would suggest we get to the same place different ways. For me. If I see a TT I like, and the yellow sticker weight is at or near my towing capacity. I walk on. If it is not. I look at the GVWR to see what the carrying capacity is. Some have a lot, some not so much.
