We have a 2016 36CKTS so hopefully it's close,
Last Christmas we loaded it up for a couple of weeks in the Texas panhandle to spend time with family and also to hunt.
We stopped at the CAT Scale at a Flying J and did the weigh. I compared it to a truck only weigh I had done previously and the trailer added 15K to the weight, about 12K was on the trailer axles and 1K on the front axle of the truck and 2K on the rear axle.
Say what, is your 5th wheel hitch is the back seat of the truck? NO 5th WHEEL PIN WEIGHT is going to add 1K to the front axle of a TV. You need to return to the scale.
Here are some real world weights towing a 16K 5th wheel.
Front TV 5120
Rear TV 6620
Sub Truck 11740
Trailer axles 12780
GCW 24520
Pin weight 3000-3200, Front of truck ready to tow is in the 5100 range. Little or no pin weight is on the front axle.
