PSI
Trailer says 50psi, tires say 65psi, tire store says 5 less than max which is 60psi. Who is right?

I always use the max psi that the tire are rated for, so in your situation I would use 65 psi. A tire's load carrying capacity is tied directly to pressure, and I prefer to take full advantage of that by pumping my tires to the max.
As for the post above about weighing your TT and setting tire pressures accordingly, again I go to max PSI for the extra safety margin. If you lose a tire, your remaining tires will have to carry extra weight so I don't want to be at 'just enough' tire load capacity.
