Calculating weight for towing toad

I am just curious why when calculating how much weight your toad can be you use the GVWR of your unit, subtract actual weight of the coach fully loaded and that gives you the max weight your towed vehicle can weigh. It's as if you have stacked your toad on top of your coach for the combined weight. I am not doing that, I am pulling the toad weight fully supported by it's own chassis. Why wouldn't I just add the tongue weight to the actual fully loaded coach for the combined weight?



GVWR = 14,500# minus 12,800# actual weight of loaded coach, remainder 1700#. Why not 12,800 plus the tongue weight i., total 13,000# i.e. 200# ?
