Newbie - confused about hitch weight
Well, I am a newbie and just bought my TT the other day. Purchased the Palomino Solaire Eclipse. Its dry weight is 6800#. My TV is a 2005 F150 4x2 5.8L V8 with a 144 WB and max trailer weight of 860...

I have a question for "Lawrosa" and "Ibrjet" and it may be stupid but I will ask anyway. I have been thinking about this question for the last week and cannot find anyone I know that tows what the answer is.
When calculating the GCW of your system do you count the TW as cargo with the GVW and also with the TT GVW.
In otherwords,
GCW = (TV GVW) + (TT GVW)
therefore,
GCW = (TV# + passenger# + cargo# + TW#) + (TT GVW# - TW#)
Does everyone understand what I am asking????
