This includes the hitch weight. This number is very important because, without this, you would never know whether you are within the weight limits set forth by the manufacturer and, as required by law.
The GVWR weight rating is the absolute maximum payload that the trailer is rated to carry. This number should not be exceeded at any time. It is one of the most crucial numbers that you must be aware of. Because if you get this wrong it would be akin to driving a car with egg-shaped tires. GMC did. You can read that article over here.

The Serenity has a hitch that weighs lbs. With the propane tank, that will be bumped up by lbs. Most automakers list tow ratings based on the weight of two passengers weighing an average of lbs. This and one full tank of fuel. And you will notice that the vehicle will start to sway under the weight of the trailer the moment you accelerate.
