I agree with weighing the trailer if the acceptable tolerance has to be within about 5 percent of the real weight. Eg if you are looking at a 5000 pound trailer and you are okay with being a couple hundred pounds out don't sweat it. If its down to the wire on weights then by all means get it weighed. Use realistic numbers for cargo, battery and propane and water. Don't over inflate or under inflate weights and never use GVWR as an indicator of the trailers weight. GVWR is your friend, the bigger the better, it has nothing to do with the weight of the trailer but rather the quality of the axles, wheels, brakes and tires etc.
