ASSUMING THE FOLLOWING VALUES ARE CORRECT:
truck by itself, no wdh attachd
front axle-3200# assuming 40# would be removed by extra "tongue weight" due to 100# WDH
gross tv-6340# assuming 100# would be added by the 100# WDH
rear axle-3140# assuming 140# would be added by extra "tongue weight" due to 100# WDH
truck hitched but bars NOT engaged
front axle- 2940
tt & tv- 12300
trailer -5360
rear axle-4000# using tt&tv = 12300
THE TRAILER WEIGHT WOULD BE: 12300-6340 = 5960#
That value seems rather low given the dry weight of 5840#.
Was the trailer essentially empty when you weighed it?

Yes, went on short weekend since this was first time out with the new tt. and we normally don't load up with lots of extras. Any advice on adding more weight to front of tv?
