Has anyone ever weighed how much cargo they carry in a full time rig? What is the average?

Heard one should plan on ~1K lbs pp. We're looking for our full-time fiver now and are planning on at least 50% more.
60 gals of water times 8.1 = 486 pounds
It all adds up quickly. That is why it is best to use GVWR of the trailer and 20 percent for pin weight. Now some of the new trailers have the axles back farther which ups pin weight even more. The new Cardinals are noted for that! Chris
Good feedback on why the OPs truck won't have enough payload to carry the load, but doesn't provide an answer to his question.
We're planning on a fifth wheel payload capacity of 3K to 3.5K for fulltiming. Without discussing the TV, am I underestimating the required payload capacity?
