First lesson is to ignore the dry weight. It is a fictional number. No one tows a trailer at it's dry weight. Dry weight does not include factory installed options like AC, awning, oven, or even the spare tire as is the case with some manufacturers. There is a yellow sticker on the driver side of the trailer that lists the "shipped" weight, which is always higher than the advertised dry weight.

I wouldn't ignore the dry weight. In order to view the yellow sticker I have to drive all over the place and take a look at each and every possible trailer. Using the published dry weight I can get a pretty good idea while sitting in my chair looking on the internet. Logically, a trailer with a lower dry weight will also have a lower configured weight assuming the weight of the options is likely about the same regardless of the trailer manufacturer.
