It really is simple. add approx. 1200lbs to the dry weight of almost any trailer you are looking at. then compare that to your tow rating. shoot for 12-13% of the loaded ready to travel, tongue weight. 15% is on the extreme high end and in my personal and actual experience can also cause sway. and 10% is too low to safely pull without sway.
You want to be safe, but cars/trucks will not break and crash at 1 lb over any of it`s ratings!
