"One thing I learned from loading several hundred long flatdeck trailers with wheeled equipment and pallets/etc...... and dozens of long GN stock trailers is there is no center point like a teeter totter for weight calculation simply because one end sits on the truck. Generally we load calves and first year lighter weight stock in the trailers front....then heavy stock (bulls or cows) over and aft of the trailers axles. Its surprising how little weight is taken off the hitch when 4k-6k lbs of bulls are placed back there."
This is true, but one has to take into consideration how far to the rear those trailer tires are compared to a 5th wheel RV, even a toyhauler. There is a lot more overhang on a 5th wheel, so weight added to the very rear of the toyhauler will affect the hitch weight more than a stock trailer.
