Say you and I have identical TTs but you bring everything including the kitchen sink and all tanks full. Me, being a minimalist, take nothing but two sets of clean clothes, no food since I eat out and travel with no water. Our "complete" weights would then differ substantially. Correct? So adding the dry tongue weight to the dry TT weight would be useless. Weight your TT fully loaded on a scale for you, not me. I know my loaded wet weight...from a scale - more than 1,500 lbs under max. Then weight the trailer tongue. I like 13%. Others are different.
