When figuring weights of MH's, large enclosed trailers, or fivers, you should always have them packed and run them over the scale. I totally agree that you should not go by the owners manual for these type of vehicles. In our last 39' fiver we ended up with over 1,200 pounds of personal property and almost 500 pounds of added equipment, so scaling it was a must, and while traveling as full timers we did just that at least once every year.
When it comes to cars the listed manual weight will put you within 150 to 200 pounds unless you are filling them with all kinds of stuff.
