Fortunately, you're mistaken. But in the "steering balance equation", whatever that is, how much difference does a couple hundred lbs above or below the unloaded FA weight make?
Odd turn of phrase. I seek enlightenment. I like strong opinions, I just like the data backing them up. Only have/had one WDH for a couple years but I’ve worked it every which way but loose, between post delivery on old TV, new TV, lifted “flipped” axle, measuring every corner each time on the TVs & TT.
Not meant to be cynical.
But consider.
Add trailer. Adds weight to RA, fulcrum effect removes weight from FA.
Add wdh, wdh opposes the downward force of the hitch and removes some of the tongue weight transferring it to the FA and trailer axles.
Weight comment was centered around splitting hairs about a couple hundred lbs on a 3000-4000lb load. Can’t say I’ve ever noticed a difference with a small weight reduction on FA due to trailer.
