Some actual weights
When I got my new TV (2003 Expedition) I weighed everything at a truck scale. Trailer and TV were empty except for full propane and about 75% of a tank of gas in the truck. We have side AC, no awning, and no TV antenna on the trailer, otherwise stock.
The axle weights for the truck by itself were front: 2980; rear: 2960 - total 5940.
With the trailer the weights were front: 2820; rear: 3080; trailer: 2760 - total 8660. This gives a TV axle weight of 5900 or 40 pounds less. The trailer seems to weigh 2720 pounds.
So, it appears my WDH transferred negative 40 pounds to my TV. That didn't make sense to me but I am not sure what the accuracy of these eighteen wheeler scales are, and at $7 a pop I didn't want to re-weigh.
About all I took away from this was that the manufacturer weights on my truck and trailer were in the ballpark of what they publish.
