Old school rule of thumb was even drop on the TV when finished dialing it in...no
longer
As the OEMs now have different suspensions among them and even within their own
model lines
So, I now say follow your glove box manual on how much to move off the TV's rear
and over to the TV's front axle
Best to understand the goal for the finished setup. Much of the advice
on these freebie forums addresses what worked for the adviser, but
out of context for anyone else, as that is all they needed to do to
dial it in. Know what your goal is and then do the dials/knobs/etc
The TV should have enough weight WD'd from the rear axle to the front axle, as
per the manual
The trailer tongue should be 12%-15% of the ACTUAL trailer weight
The trailer tongue should be level at it's highest pointing, or pointing slightly
down (my preference)
Of course within your TRUE ratings. Meaning that the OEMs used a 'curb' vehicle
to derive their ratings. Unless you have a 'curb' vehicle, then those ratings
do NOT apply to your TV.
Best to go out and weigh the whole setup, axle by axle, fully loaded. Then you
will know where you are in reference to your TRUE ratings.
