  • GCWR - (unloaded weight/scaled weight) = max trailer+cargo weight

Note that if the weight number you've found includes things like a full fuel tank, full water, two people, etc. then the values above would be the "extra" weight it can handle on top of that.
Thanks jamieGeek, good info to help. I am unable to find the article I mentioned, but will keep looking.
