The 1978 Glendette 290 Standard Travel Trailer or the Glendette Deluxe 290 Travel Trailer by Glendale Corp. Strathroy, Ontario. The dry weight is estimated at 4718 lbs and the dry hitch weight is estimated at 562 lbs. This info comes out of 1987 Glendette brochure for model 295. From 1977 to 1992 the construction of the Glendette travel trailer was pretty much standard. Taking the specs out of a 1987 brochure would be really no different then a 1978 model which would have been the 290 model. This would be the closest model number for a 28' trailer in that year. If it is a Glendette Deluxe with molded ABS front and back add about 400lbs to the dry weight because of the moulded front and back as well as the heavier cabinetry inside the trailer. For gross weight the Glendette of this size would have had axles rated for 6500 to 7000lbs combined. This would allow for a cargo carrying estimate of approximately 1700 to 2200 pounds maximum. There should be a sticker on the road side of the unit indicating this in kg. Also in one of the cabinets inside there should be a manufacturer's unit fact sheet with this same info. The best advice is to take your Glendette to a truck weigh scale and weigh it empty to see how accurate the mfg information was in the brochure. The difference if any will also affect the hitch weight of your unit. A hitch weight is 10 to 15% of the units actual weight .
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of a vehicle/trailer is the total weight of a fully loaded vehicle/trailer with maximum number of passengers allowed, maximum number of cargo allowed, full tank of gas, etc that the vehicle should weigh at maximum.
The vin is generally stamped into the trailer tongue frame or stamped on a metal plate that is welded to the trailer tongue frame.
Go to the DMV in your state.
The VIN, otherwise known as the Vehicle Identification Number, is a 17-digit number used for identification of motor vehicles. For a 1980 Miley Horse trailer, check the trailer tongue. It has metal bars protruding from the body of the trailer. The VIN is installed on it.
A Boat Trailer VIN# is either stamped into the Ibeam at neck of trailer (where tounge meets Ibeam) or is stamped on a Vin# and weight plate riveted onto side of Ibeam.
You can decode an identification number on a trailer by knowing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for insurance, registration, or production code purposes. The VIN can also be decoded using an authorized website by inputting the Vehicle Identification Number to identify the place, company and year of manufacture, safety braking, body type and engine chassis.
There'll be a sticker inside the door frame on the driver's side with this information on it.
Whatever it weighs. You could be talking about a tractor-trailer unit, or a single vehicle, either of which in a number of configurations, and corresponding weights.
Call the motor vehicle department and give them the license plate number. They should be able to cross reference the VIN.

Legally, in the US, it's typically between 43,000 and 48,000 lbs of payload. The max legal interstate weight is 80,000 lbs. for the truck, trailer, and payload. How much the actual payload comes out to depends on the empty weight of the vehicle and trailer, and that'll be affected by a number of factors, such as the frame length of the truck, what the trailer is made of (steel or aluminum), etc.
