I talked with the weight scales and the insurance company here and their consensus is that tow weight is. what ever is on the door sticker.
On the Truck you can not exceed the weight per Axel eg. 6000 rear 5000 front but the total weight can not exceed the truck gross weigh 10100 . The trailer can not exceed the gross sticker GVW. These weights are roughly what is on the door of the 2008 1 ton dodge. So hookup the 5Th wheel and go to a scale weigh the Truck front axel then the rear axel total that weight. Then weigh the 2 axels together on the trailer. Add the two weights of the truck and that will give you the total weight of your truck and hopefully they are all under the weights on the sticker.
