I pull a 5'er weights in close to 8,000 lbs loaded up. I know where all the weight came from ... I turned my back and my wife stuffed more things in!!! If there is space she wants to fill it.

A good rule of thumb is to take the listed dry weight of a trailer and add 1,000-2,000 lbs for a loaded trailer. Mine is 4700 lbs dry as listed by the manufacturer. It weighs 6400 lbs ready to camp with no water. Same for hitch / pin weights. Always good to take a trip across the scales so you know where you sit.
