John,
Thank so much for your response--just the kind of informed feedback I was hoping for. You make reference to the new SAE guidelines for weight distribution. I googled it but so far haven't come up with anything specific to weight distribution. Can you provide me with a link? I most definitely want to be within the SAE guidelines.
As far as I can tell, the forthcoming
SAE J2807 "Performance Requirements for Determining Tow-Vehicle Gross Combination Weight Rating and Trailer Weight Rating"
does not give direct guidance for weight distribution.
I do know that Equal-i-zer, about two years ago, updated its weight distribution recommendations.
And, according to this post by ORF member typerr,
the change in philosophy was based on results of testing conducted by SAE and RVIA.
About the same time, Ford revised its recommendations for its F-Series trucks.
If you adjust your new WDH so the front end of the TV is returned to a height of 1/8 - 1/4" above the unhitched value,
you would be achieving a good compromise between what Equal-i-zer and Ford now specify.
Ron
