The RV trailer building instructions (FMVSS) require the trailer manufacturer to provide a recommended tongue/hitch weight. It's required for vehicle certification purposes and reads like this; The trailer manufacturers recommended tongue/hitch weight, when added to the trailer's total vehicle GAWR values MUST not be less than the trailer's certified GVWR.
Once the trailer is sold the owner becomes 100% responsible for its hitch/tongue weight.
In chapter #4 (RV section) of the following reference you'll find all you need to know about getting specific weights at some scales.
