What is "Dry weight?"
Newby here. I searched. No. Really. I did. ;) But a search for "dry weight" didn't give me a definition. When the specs on TT list a dry weight, is that the weight as equipped from the fact...

You will get many answers as until recently, there were no standards.
I forget exactly when it started, but any TT with the yellow sticker has a weight that should be accurate. Any new one will be this way.
Now the bad news. Yout TV tow rating is reduced pound for pound by whatever you put in it, So your 5500# rating is not what you have to work with. The only way to know for sure is to load it up for a trip, and weigh it.
X2. Dry weights are useless and tow ratings aren't much better. If you want to KNOW what you have to work with weigh the TV and get your remaining payload. To do that load the TV with everyone and everything you'll carry on a trip and weigh it. Subtract that from your TV GVWR for the usable payload.
