Go by GVWR of the TT, NOT the dry weight.
This should be posted somewhere on the rig and calculate 15% of TTs GVWR for tongue weight.<div ="msg" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb0, 0, 0; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; width: 809px; margin-top: 2px; margin-right: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 2px; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: auto; ">

Determine your payload[/b]</span>
Look at your door sticker and see what your starting payload is. From this number you need to subtract the weight of all occupants, gear and a full tank of fuel.</span><b style="color: rgb0, 0, 0; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4; ">This will be your available payload[/b]. Your tongue weight will also come off your payload.</span>
Another way to figure out payload is to go weigh your TV fully loaded w/ occupants and any gear you would put in it while towing as well as a full tank of fuel. Subtract this number from the tv's gvwr to get your payload.</span>
