What is laughable about his weight estimates? He knows what he loads in the trailer more than the weight police on this forum. He accounted for his water weight. 200 lbs additional can be realistic for everything else such as kitchen utensils, bedding, food, clothing, and misc gear, unless you have OCD or some other mental disorder, or are a hoarder.
Not everyone needs or hauls a ton and a half of additional stuff like some of you folks. Now if he's stacking cubes of brick or pallets of 8" block inside to build a pizza oven at the campground, then all bets are off.
Problem is, the dry weight is a very meaninglessness number to start at. There is no standard as to what is included in the number. So you likely need to add the weight of the batteries, propane tanks and hitch before even worrying about clothes etc. That can be 2-300 lbs depending on your setup and most of that adds to the tongue weight just based on how far forward they are.
Better weight to base off of is the GVW, as you should be under that so you have room.
