Mike, the hitchweight will vary according to what options you have installed, how much, if any, fluids are in your freshwater and holding tanks, how much gear and where it is installed, etc.
It should be between 20% and 25% of the actual towing weight. So maybe we can throw some numbers at that to give you a very general idea. I don't have 2005 specs but the 2004 numbers should be very close if not identical.
The UVW is the unloaded vehicle weight. There should be a sticker on the inside of a cabinet door showing the UVW of your rig. That's without propane bottles, without battery, and without gear and fluids. So take that as a number you'll never get it down to. The GVWR is the max you should have it loaded to. Your actual weight will be somewhere inbetween. Real precise, huh?
The UVW per the brochure is 10,950. GVWR is 13,480. So, hitchweight should be somewhere between 2190 and 3370. Pretty wide margin. I'd bet your loaded weight if you weekend/vacation will be right around 12,000-12,500. So that would indicate hitchweight will be between 2400 and 3125. I'd bet it will be around 2500-2700 lbs. The brochure says hitchweight is 1840. That seems awfully low to me for that model. But maybe it carries less hitchweight than most.
Not much help. Hopefully someone with this model who also has weiged the rig will provide better information. As a point of reference, when we had a 2880RL (2001 model) the hitchweight was around 2300-2400 when loaded for a two-week vacation with full freshwater. The 2880RL is center kitchen peninsula, very similar to the 3380 but smaller.
