trailer was as shipped + propane and 1/2 tank fresh water, and will probably gain another 1000-1500lbs. camp ready.
seems strange that the front axle lost 80lbs. when loaded.
thats My story and I`m sticking to it.
80 lbs lost from the front axle is no big deal, if you lost 200 or 300 lbs it would be time to consider moving the hitch forward. Go camping & see how it feels, I'm betting no issue.
