The scales being referred to here are the ones you voluntarily go to, usually at a truck stop so you can get the "real numbers" of your set up the way you have it loaded for camping. The sticker weights for the trailer are dry weight and pin weight with no load. Once you load up all your gear you'll want to get it weighed so you know what your actual load and balance is.
Knowledge is good and can make for a much more comfortable ride.

Not sure what "sticker" you are talking about. By Federal Regulation (law) every RV trailer has a "Certification Label" AKA "Tire Placard" on the driver side, outside, toward the front. The information may be on one or more individual stickers but toy have one with Tire Size, including Load Range and a statement of GAWR for each axle and the inflation needed to support that GAWR. GAWR is not empty or dry RV but the most load you should ever have on that axle. The vehicle VIN and manufacturer information is also on these stickers.
