Ron nothing changed among the cargo or passengers: on all three weighings they were in their seats and I was standing outside the drivers door. I weigh about 180 so I assumed on one of them I was standing off the scale or too close to the edge to register. I can't explain the front/rear difference though other than scale measurement error.
The estimated TW still is 980#.
However, the load removed from the TV's front axle, when the TT is attached with no WD applied, would be only 300#.
The expected amount of removed load for a TW of 980# would be close to 370#.
Since there are four numbers used for calculating TW, and two numbers used for calculating amount of load removed, it is possible that measurement errors could explain the discrepancies.
