Dry Weight 5,794 lbs.

Hitch Weight 790 lbs.
Your trailer should have an external sticker which lists its factory-delivered UVW. That is the correct value to use for the trailer's "dry weight".
When CCC is calculated, it usually is based on the GVWR minus the sum of the "dry weight" plus a full tank of fresh water. If your fresh water tank holds 40 gallons, the CCC should be approximately equal to GVWR - ("UVW+320#).
