Eye opening CAT weighing
For last weekend's camping, I was going by a truck stop with CAT scales and wanted to get some ready to camp weights on my rig. Onboard was my wife, lab, & me. I had to get out to use the call button...

What I do surmise, I am slightly over weight on my rear axle until I put the load bars on...Other than get a new TV (not an option this year), any comments or suggestions? Should I increase the leverage on the load bars to move more weight to the front?
When you just put a trailer tongue on the ball, it acts as a lever with the rear axle/wheels as the fulcrum. So the rear axle typically gets 130-140% of the static tongue weight. Many TVs towing bumper pull RVs are over rear axle without a WDH. I would no worry about that, unless you are still over with properly adjusted WDH.
Suggestions? Find out the unhitched weight so you know how much front axle weight you lost and then restored with WDH. But I think you'll find out it is adjusted fairly well and it tows well. Happy camping!
