We have a 331BH Laredo Travel Trailer by keystone. 7900 lbs. empty, 810 lbs. tongue weight (As stated from factory). I suspect my TW is well over 900 lbs.
My original Blue OX set up had the 1000 lbs. bars. It did not feel right so after some discussion with Blue Ox and my dealer we switched to 1500 lbs. bars. Much better handling. They actually sold me a 1500 lbs. set but it had the wrong bars in it, or it was not labeled correctly.
Here are some of my measurements with the Blue Ox.
Empty Truck: (All measurements at center of axle to top of fender opening)
Front Axle: 37 1/2"
Rear Axle: 39 5/8"
No bars, but hooked to truck:
Front: 38 1/2"
Rear: 37"
With 1000 lbs. bars:
Front: 37 1/2"
Rear: 38"
With 1500 lbs bars:
Front: 37 1/2"
Rear: 37 3/4"
I have not scaled truck and trailer fully loaded, but I did scale the two minus, food, clothes, wife, water and extra cargo. The truck and trailer combined at that time was 14,790 lbs. I don't have the front and rear weights with me or I would share.
