The best method is to use a scale, try a CAT Scale. CAT scales are at truck stops, so easy on/off.
If you plan on traveling, load it like you would for a trip. Go to a scale and weigh the truck & trailer. Park the trailer and go back and weigh the truck. The difference is the weight of the trailer.
The weight would be:
axles weights
pin weight (pin weight is the difference of the rear axle weights of the truck)
add these 2 weights together and you have the total weight of the RV.
CAT scales cost $13.50 first weigh, 2nd weigh, tell them you want to reweigh, and it is $2.00.
Another way is to load the truck with everybody & everything in it, full fuel, etc... and go weigh the truck, then go back hook-up the RV and weigh both together.
If you just want the empty weight, on the entrance door jamb may be a sticker with the information. Also, on the left corner of the RV are stickers with some information.

Thank you!
Thank you for this information. We just purchased the Travel Trailer and had it towed by the previous owner to a relative’s place. We now need to move it from the location it’s at and move it to our property. We just wanted to determine if my husband’s Chevy Silverado 2500 could pull it 2 miles across town. The specs on the Silverado say 8,000-10,000 pounds. It is dry with no liquids in it.
