Since I purchased my scale I'm running 950-1050 TW depending on how I load things and that's pretty much where it should be with the 7500-8000lbs of the trailer. On my first trip I must have been in the 400lb range as it towed very poorly. I've done about 4K miles since and the trailer tows great, no sway at all. Even yesterday with 30 mph cross winds on a narrow two lane twisty road I had no problems. I will however carry this TW scale with me at all times since the amount of things I carry changes constantly and this will give me a good idea on how to load.
Yes, I figure that little scale will be the key to happiness really. I'm so close on my tolerances, that I really need to know exactly where I stand. I still need to put 350 miles on my new truck and then I can tow with it. I can't wait to see how she tows with the new truck, Harley loaded in the VRV, and proper placement of all cargo to make the TW work. I'm thinking I'll need to ultimately be around 700#'s TW in the end.
