Such confusion about loads resulting from mass versus loads resulting from other effects is the reason I am trying to avoid the use of the term "weight distribution" and its counterparts.

Ron,
I hear you. We all went through that a while back. I once suggested that we should consider not using the term "tongue weight" once the tongue is hooked to a TV and no longer supported by the tongue jack.
Unfortunately the manufacturers use words such as "weight distribution", and "distributes tongue weight", and "the rear axle bears much of the tongue weight". We can not fight them.
I feel that we can provide the best service to the new members using the ORF search, by providing a definition/summary consistent with the manufacturers, yet enlightening.
That is why I wrote my summary using a blend of manufacturers wording and our/my wording.
