Yes, look at wet weights. If not available, take dry weight, add the weight of water (US gallon weighs 8.3 pounds), and then add another 1500 pounds. 500 for what the trailer weighs with anything else the manufacturer or dealer installed, and 1000 for your own stuff.

So 8,000 lbs, and then take off water weight and 1,500 lbs. Let's for fun (or easy math) say no water because the site will have water and sewage to dump after, I can tow a 6,500 lbs trailer? Man, that doesn't seem like much.
Now that's towing, it doesn't account for humans and stuff in the vehicle. That falls under CGVW? (combined gross vehicle weight?).
