I see this a lot, and maybe for a family you would come closer to that number than we do. I can tell you that with just me and the Wife we load about 750 lbs (that includes LP and battery), and that is according to the scale, and that has been the case for our last 2 TTs. Even so - using GVWR of the trailer will give you a safe number.
