Help with hitch / tongue weight

Yep. Makes a lot of sense for Cequent to say 'use the wieght' in determining hitch size (so they can sell you a more expensive hitch) and then say to not distribute the weight with your new super duper hitch. The instructions say there is no need to distribute that weight (which is correct), but yet they want to sell you the more expensive hitch anyway. As I said before, it is just a marketing effort to get more money out of your pocket.

You are still not understanding this and trying to rationalize this as some sort of marketing ploy which I'm not sure any logical explaination will change your opinion and I think that's all it is YOUR OPINION and as far as I can tell pure speculation on your part with no factual basis. This weight added aft of the axle after you have initally set up your WDH is in fact redistributed to both the TT axles and to the front axles of the TV. Maybe not in the same ratios as the trailer only tongue wt. but it is weight that has to be acted upon by the WDH bars and that's why it effects the bar sizing of your WDH system. Of even more concern at least to me is that if it effects the weight sizing of the WDH bars that are based on this hitch weight as it called by CEQUENT then by extension I believe it would increase the "TONGUE WT." capacity limits for WD mode on the TV receiver itself which can only be changed if at all by changing your receiver to a higher rated one.

I'm not sure any amount of facts will change your opinion which I think is basically close minded and impervious to rational reasoning and I'm thru trying in your case which I will put in the "LOST BIN" so to speak. Please don't take this as a personal attack since it's not given as such, but is just how I see your position IN MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION.
