Reviewing results from CAT scale weigh in
Hello - and thanks up front for the help. I know this is long post with lots of questions. :-) I just weighed TV and TT at CAT scales. I would like to share the numbers, get your take, and I have...

Thanks again for all the help.
These are the weights:
Truck only:
Front axle-3640
Rear axle-3540
Truck/trailer - WDH unhooked
Front axle-3000
Rear axle-5890
Trailer axles-8890
** weight added to truck = 8890-7180 = 1710 = tongue weight???
That is A LOT!! Trailer spec'd with GVWR 9400 and tongue weight of 940.
Tongue is 1 inch higher than
what makes trailer level. Trailer axles are 1300 lbs UNDER max rating.
I don't have a lot loaded in trailer ahead of trailer axles. But with where fresh water inlet and drains are located I think all tanks are ahead of axles.
When trailer spec's tongue weight as 940lbs, is it possible that is with empty tanks?
This is a rear living space floorplan so there isn't much that is behind axle just based on floor plan. Are RLDS floorplans prone to excessive tongue weight?
If so, is it possible to move tanks behind axle to make use of the 1300 unused loading available at axles?
FYI
Truck/trailer - WDH hooked
Front axle-3460
Rear axle-5140
Trailer axles-7540
*** now due to WDH weight added to truck is down to 1420.
