Apparently I’m truck shopping now. I open a site in 2 weeks that has a CAT scale, I will utilize that one and see what my weights are.
So for my future knowledge, is the 1570 lbs. advertised pin weight ever a valid number?

No....except when it is completely empty. The brochure 'dry' weight does not include batterie(s), propane, water, any add-on options and of course any gear you load in the trailer. That's why using 21%-22% of your 5th wheel's GVWR is typically the rule of thumb for 'guesstimation' purposes.
