A different weight question
I do not have a good understanding on how GVWR is applied to a travel trailer rig. The question is whether the tongue weight and it's effects have to be counted in both the truck and trailer weights...
Forum Discussion
A wheelbarrow has a ball/stinger on the rear between the handle
You stand on the trailer tongue, which is on that wheelbarrow ball/stinger
You hold both of the wheelbarro'w handles and lift up...while standing on the trailer tongue (not standing on pavement)
You have removed 'some' of the trailer tongue weight off of the ball/stinger and moved (WD'd) it to the wheelbarrow's front wheel....***AND***....since standing on the trailer tongue...added 'some' of that weight you lifted off of the wheelbarrow...back onto the trailer tongue
It is that simple and if you wish to figure it out to the placement of each pound...then go to the top of this forum and read Ron Gratz's sticky on this topic
