The difference between dry an loaded weight.
When I bought my 25 ft. TT the literature said 5004 lbs. dry and 400 lbs. on the tongue. Common sense said it would weigh more when loaded but how much more? So before a couple of our trips I took ...

"I don't understand how you could have 1196-1396 lbs of cargo (6400 less 5004) in a 25 foot TT".
Well, myredracer, here's how:
Two Grp 27 batteries 120#?
Two propane tanks 40# (assume empty tank part of "dry wt")
Two solar panels 50#
51 gal H2O 426#
Awning 100#
Bedding 40#
Shoes, clothing 50#
Canopy 75#
Pots, pans, utensils 50#
Games, book, etc 25#
Food, drinks, ice 100#
Level blocks, chocks 50#
Lawn chairs 20#
Electric cable 10#
Just those items are 1,156 lbs. I am sure I have forgotten about misc. items we have in various storage bays - oh, yes: outdoor stove, charcoal and grill, tools, outdoor tables. And the list goes on. It takes items to be comfortably camping for a week in the boonies.
