Dealer wants to increase Tongue Wt on Blue Ox Rating

There's one universal rule to RVing: It's ALWAYS heavier than you think it is.

You think the tongue weight on the brochure is accurate? It's ALWAYS heavier.

You think you're "only" going to put 500lbs in the trailer? It's ALWAYS heavier.

You think only 10% of what you put in the trailer is going on the tongue? It's ALWAYS heavier, and in this case that's a good thing. Most travel trailers need more than 10% tongue weight for towing stability. More typical is 13%.
