I know my trailer does not have even loading, even though it is not nose high. The left rear carries a little more (from the slide I think) and the front right carries a little less than the other two. I did some one side at a time and one axle at time at a "closed" scales I had to myself to learn this. (They leave "closed" scales working so people like Rvers can use them )
With the Cs this meant at close to rear GAWR the left rear was maxed and if loaded to GAWR it would have been over. We don't get to full rated loading on the trailer--more like 9500 of the 10,000 allowed.
So with the new Ds, at least there will be some margin instead of pushing the limits on the Cs. (Maybe that is why Komfort went to Ds on this size trailer a couple years later, don't know. Doesn't matter now. Komfort has been killed off by Thor, the rats.)
