I would suspect the lighter pin weight is due to the two slides in the rear of the trailer along with the furniture. I would think that added weight in the rear of the FW will take some weight off the pin. I know that, when I put my boat on the back of my FW, my hitch weight decreases due to the leverage of the boat trailer hitch weight on the back of the FW. At least that's my opinion. Jayco said that my hitch weight was supposed to be 1,365 pounds with a dry trailer weight of 7,272 or so. That's a little less than 20%. Loaded max is supposed to be 9,950 so using that ratio, the hitch weight if I fully loaded up would be about 1,865. Doubt that you will ever get that close to max weight.
