It depends on the density of packing. Average weight is estimated at around 6 pounds per cubic foot. Density is realistically around 5 or 5.5. Depending on how much bulky furniture there is. So at 6 lbs per cuft, the estimated weight would be 4920 pounds.
Cubic feet is a measure of volume (i.e. a cube measuring one foot x one foot x one foot). Pounds is a measure of weight (mass). Therefore the relationship between cubic feet and pounds is called density (lbs per cubic foot) and will vary for each substance: a gas (at atmospheric pressure) will have less than one pound per cubic foot, while a block of wood will have a density of approximately 60 lbs per cubic foot.
48 foot trailer: 3000 cu. ft. or 30,000 lbs 53 foot trailer: 3400 cu. ft. or 34,000 lbs.
At an average of about 30 lbs per cubic foot, that is about 20/30 = 2/3 cubic feet. A little less if wet, about 1 cu ft if really dry
