If the GVWR is 11,500 lbs and it weighs 10,680 lbs that leaves 820lbs for cargo? Dry weight of 9,238 lbs (1991 spec.) leaves only 2,262 lbs left. How much does a generator weigh?

Isn't the tongue weight about 10% of the trailer?

Is the actual weight with driver and "stuff"?

Trying to understand the math here...

Correct.
 Dry weight of 9,238 lbs (1991 spec.) leaves only 2,262 lbs left. How much does a generator weigh?"
 About 250 pounds, as I recall. But unlike most RV makers, who cheat on weights by not counting the A/C and generator, Lazy Daze includes those in all its calculations (e.g., dry weight), so you needn't subtract them separately.
