Weight distribution is delicate matter.
When 1000 lb taken off the hitch by WD bars will not do major thing on motorhome, the 1000 lb added to trailer axles can have more consequences.
I think dumping rear gray tank will make big difference, but I would also weight the corners.
With whole axle getting slight overload, one side might have it much higher than other.
what do u mean? that's the whole idea? get the weight off the overloaded rear MH axle and onto the trailer axles that are rated for such weight.I have towed a lot of trailers and the WD bar system is the only safe way to go and increases safety of any high speed sway
I towed quite a bit in my life - several TT and 18,000 lb equipment trailer for tens of thousands miles and never had a need for WD bars.
IMHO they are patch for poorly design set up.
What I meant in this sample is that when you have trailer already 7000 lb and 7000 axles, adding 1000 lb from WD can have bad consequences.
