I am completely new to travel trailers and I would love assistance understanding how to figure out the weight. If a trailer says dry weight is 5,600 and the dry hitch weight is 575, would I need to add the two together to get the complete weight before trying to pull it or is the hitch weight already added into the trailers weight? I would appreciate any advise on this.
The answer is YES, The tongue weight is part of the 5600lb. It is just that the tongue weight will be carried by the TV once you hookup.
Do remember. As mentioned. BOTH weights will rise as you load the TT. You will add any where from 500ls to 1500lbs+. Depending on how you camp or RV.
Some on this forum like me only add 5 or 600lb. On the other hand. some married Lucy, and carry everything they can stuff into the trailer, and add more than 1500lb. (Lucy collects rocks)
