Upon leaving for this first journey I went to a public scale and proceeded to get the following weights (all in pounds):

a) GCWR - the truck and trailer together - 21,540
b) the trailer on the scale but the truck off - 10,420
c) the truck alone on the scale - 8,660

from these I deduced the following:

weight of the trailer = a - c = 12,880
pin weight = b - c = 1,760

According to the brochure the trailer weighs 9,731 empty and can carry 2,389 for a total trailer weight of 12,120. This seems to indicate that I'm 760 pounds too heavy.

Will those in the know check my math and let me know if I'm correct in my computations.

On a side note, I did fill the water tank full just to get these maximum weights.
