Dry weight is about 5200lbs (no battery, propane, etc) so travel weight will be closer to 6000lbs.
Nice looking trailer! Need some pics of the inside!
Just an FYI, your travel weight will be closer to 7000 lbs when you get the TT packed. Don't take my word for it, load it up and take it to the scales. Also plan on re-adjusting the WD hitch since the balance of the trailer will change once you get the cabinets and storage packed with stuff. If you plan on traveling with full water then figure that in as well.
Speaking of brake upgrades, check your brake lines as well. I know early 2000's trucks like mine had uncoated steel lines that rust out....at some point GM started using better material so I'm not sure about your '06.
