How do you determine hitch weight?
And what do you do if the mfr's. website says one thing and the dealers say another? Most dealers won't let you drive to a scale to determine the correct weights.

I've bought three truck campers and one TT and three 5th wheel trailers and have always used the mfg dry hitch or gross weights for a estimate. In my former line of work (pulling non RV trailers) it was absolutely necessary to know the trailers dry weight so I could estimate how much load was left to carry freight. More freight meant more monies....which was a good thing.
And I also subtract the mfg CCC from the units GVWR for a estimate.
Others have their favorite method of estimating a trailer hitch weight.
