Does the weight of the trailer count towards towing capacity?
Of course it does. If you think it is close, go to a truck stop with a scale A: weigh your whole rig (all 3 axles on the scale), B: just the rear axle of the vehicle and the trailer C: just the trailer axle. D: Remove the trailer and weigh your towing vehicle. Calculate: E: The loaded trailer ( A minus D) should not exceed the towing capacity rating for the vehicle or the weight rating for the trailer. The load on your rear axle with the trailer (B minus E) should not exceed the weight rating for that axle THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: have you ever seen trailers swaying on the highway? this is very dangerous. Your trailer tung weight - the weight on the hitch (E minus C) , should be about 15% of the weight of the trailer. That bumber cannot exceed the weight rating of the hitch, but if it is too small the trailer can be very difficult to control.

Measure from the point the trailer connects to the truck to the center of trailer axle ( if a tandem axle trailer measure to the center point between axles) multiply by 2 and this will have you close to turning radius.
Which shut off valves should be open and which closed on a 18 wheeler?
Page 6-11 2005 Commercial Driver's License Manual6.5.2 - Combination Vehicle Brake CheckDo these checks in addition to Section 5.3: Inspecting Air Brake Systems.The following section explains how to check air brakes on combination vehicles. Check the brakes on a double or triple trailer as you would any combination vehicle.Check That Air Flows to All Trailers. Use the tractor parking brake and/or chock the wheels to hold the vehicle. Wait for air pressure to reach normal, then push in the red "trailer air supply" knob. This will supply air to the emergency (supply) lines. Use the trailer handbrake to provide air to the service line. Go to the rear of the rig. Open the emergency line shut-off valve at the rear of the last trailer. You should hear air escaping, showing the entire system is charged. Close the emergency line valve. Open the service line valve to check that service pressure goes through all the trailers (this test assumes that the trailer handbrake or the service brake pedal is on), and then close the valve. If you do NOT hear air escaping from both lines, check that the shut-off valves on the trailer(s) and dolly(ies) are in the OPEN position. You MUST have air all the way to the back for all the brakes to work.

How many square feet apart should you place vents?
Air vents are placed based on the required cfm load calculation per room not necessarily set at specific square feet apart. But you need to make sure that supply and return air are not close to each other. Supply air vents should be placed close to outside walls and return air close to interior central walls.
What percentage of the combined weight of the vessel and trailer should be used to calculate a trailer's tongue weight?
If the trailer is properly balanced, the tongue weight should be 10% of the combined total weight. Most boat trailers are not properly balanced. You have to check the balance. If you know the total weight, you can lay the trailer tongue onto a bathroom scale. You will likely find you need to shift the contents of the boat to get close to 10%. There are alternate techniques for boats too heavy for the bathroom scale (boats / trailers over 3,000 pounds).
Control valves should always be in what position?
open
