I am looking at a FW with 11,500 dry and approx 13,000 loaded.
Some sources say to use 15%, but I thought a better range would be 20-25%
What recommendation would everyone suggest I use to get an estimate of tongue weight?
Thanks,
Most on here tend to use 25% as a "worst case" number until they can actually get to a scale and weigh their rig. I know that my Komfort is relatively light, based on =dry= weights (15-16%), but I'm sure it creeps up pretty close to 20% when I'm loaded. I do minimal travel with full water and tanks to help with this.
