IMO the only way to consider weights is to use the GVWR and figure 25% as the pin weight. When you are rolling down the road loaded you will be close to those figures. My GVWR is 20K and I'm around 19,400 and my pin is close to 4800#. We live in ours but at times for longer stays a camper will tend to load heavy. It's very important to look at the CCC of any unit. Some trailers you can only load in 1000-1500# along with water and propane and you're at the GVWR. We have about 3000# loaded for fulltiming.
Hope this helps a little.
