Yes. That's what that means. You want to buy with enough reserve to last several years. Not the posted numbers on your trailer, although that is fine. Take it to a scale to see how much it weighs loaded for you. Then you'll know how much your reserve is and can knock off 10% each year and know when you may start to see problems again.
