I can't imagine anyone using GVWR to calculate anything let alone the tounge weight of a trailer. GVW maybe but not GVWR. Maybe there was a miscomunication. Rule of thumb, just like with when buying a truck, the bigger the GVWR the better. It is a rating not a weight. The trick is to find a trailer with a realistically loaded weight (GVW) that your tow vehicle will handle. Start with dry weights, talk to experienced RVers that know how much they pack and try and estimate realistic tounge weights and GVW's. Looking for trailers with low GVWR's is going to take you out of a lot of high quality trailers. For example, two 25 foot trailers side by side, each weighing 6500 pounds, one has a GVWR of 7700 pounds and the other has a GVWR of 10,000 pounds. Remember, both weigh the same. Which one do you choose. Which one do you think has bigger brakes, axles, frames etc. Your call.
Good luck in your search and welcome to the forum.
