Finally weighed the TV and TT together... ugh
I thought maybe you math geniuses could help me out with my questions? TV = '12 Ram 1500, Hemi, 3.92 gears, 6800 GVWR, 1219 lb payload, GAWR 3900 lbs (front and rear), GCWR 15,500 TT = '13 Salem ...

Weigh it again!

Best thing to do is go weigh the truck and trailer again as if you are headed on a trip. Something does not seem right.
I agree, I need to run the setup through the scales again. I like the idea of the 3 different passes to see how much it changes per scenario.

Do you have the trailer set with a significant nose down attitude while hitched or is it pretty flat? Could one of the TT axles been sitting on the same scale as the trucks rear axle?
The truck and trailer sit pretty level with a little bit of sag in the rear. It is possible I had the TT axles close to or possibly touching the scale for the truck rear tires but I looked to make sure before I pushed the button and it didn't look like it.

Did you have full fresh, black, and gray tanks? where are your tanks located? In front of the axles?
All tanks were empty and they are located above the TT axles and back.
I will be going through it all today to see if I can minimize the items I have forward of the axles. Maybe this weekend I can get it to the scales again to see if there are any changes. It's hard to believe I have an extra 1700 lbs of weight on the hitch.
