    Calculating Travel Trailer weight

    I'm trying to help my brother figure out his TT weight. He went to CAT scale and got his numbers.

    Quick question: Do you add the Tongue weight to trailer axle weight to get total weight?
    For example the trailer axle weights 1000 and the tongue weight is 100 does that mean the total weight of trailer would be 1100?

    The total weight of a trailer includes the weight of the axle(s) as well as the weight of the tongue. It would be the same thing as if you towed a trailer onto a scale and disconnected from the truck and weighed the trailer sitting on the scale by itself.....axles and tongue jack on the scale and drive the truck off of the scale.
