Where on my trailer is this hitch/pin weight?
And how do we accurately measure our pin weight?

The manufacturer's published pin weight is a pre-sale vehicle certification requirement weight. It's no longer valid once a consumer/buyer takes control of the vehicle. The new owner is 100% responsible for the trailer's weight and balance.
I've done a math evaluation of a lot of Keystone models. Their recommended pin weights are - percentage wise - within safe parameters. However, they are set on the most ideal balance.
