The difference between dry an loaded weight.
When I bought my 25 ft. TT the literature said 5004 lbs. dry and 400 lbs. on the tongue. Common sense said it would weigh more when loaded but how much more? So before a couple of our trips I took ...

Forget dry weight unless you just transport new trailers for a living.
LOL
im still learning weights and specs myself however
thinking this might be simplest, most common sense answer yet
If it’s a trailer with a very low CCC then yes. But as I have said, some trailers are as much as 3-4K lbs. my trailer has a 4100lb CCC. No way I would use the GVWR.
More to the point. If you do not use it all in your figuring.... What is the worst thing that can happen?
And conversly, if you do use it all, and do not figure on it.... What is the worst thing that can happen?
I always figure I will use it all and then some.
Keeps me out of trouble.
Huntingdog I'm in your camp . I would use it all and I did. I had a trailer with the same ratings as Dodge Guy (different brand),except I did load it to its 11K GVW lots of times.
