If you check the plate or sticker on the driver side by the front corner of the trailer you should see the capacities for your fifth wheel trailer. This would be the easiest way to determine your axle capacities.

If you have 4,400 lb axles then you have 4,400 lbs of axle capacity per axle. So basically you have 8,800 lbs of axle capacity.
