we picked up our new toy saturday. a 1989 starcraft spacestar. we even got the sales brochure from 1989. it lists axle weight as 1475, hitch weight 145 and cargo 750. is this the same as trailer weight?

The axle weight (1475), plus the hitch/tounge weight (145) = the "dry" trailer weight (1620). The cargo carrying capacity is (750) and adding those two figures together (2370) is the trailer's GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating), or, the total amount of weight the trailer can carry.
