Anyone that doesn't look at using the gross weight of their trailer and using 25% for pin weight is not being totally realistic with themselves unless they are weekend campers and know they will never fulltime or trade in the rig for the "bigger, better, newest marketed fifth wheel OR they have a butt load of money so these sorts of decisions don't matter. Using a manufacturer's stated empty pin weight is not a wise thing to ever do. No slight against the op on these comments.
