Tongue Weight Calculation
Greetings From Oregon, This will be my first of probably many posts/questions. Thank you all first for already giving me tons of knowledge and info. I recently purchased a 33' travel trailer wi...

Well I weighed it with the WDH hooked up and haven't had an opportunity to get back to the scale. This is what I have
LOADED TRUCK/TRAILER WITH WDH
Truck;
Front axle = 4050
Rear axle = 4360
Trailer;
Front axle = 3300
Rear Axle = 3550
TRUCK WITHOUT TRAILER
Front axle = 4000
Rear axle = 2850
So I'm actually 50 lbs heavier on the front truck axle with the trailer. Might need to drop a link on my WDH chains.
I have a bunk house trailer and the only things behind the axles are the bunks and the bathroom. There is a small storage box (outside access) under the bunks but I don't have much space there.
The reason for the post is that I get sway (true sway) above about 50 MPH so I'm trying to fine tune the WDH. It doesn't seem that my TW is too light but then I need to get my weights with the WDH unhooked to get true numbers.
I'm running LT tires on the truck and Goodyear Endurance on the trailer, both "E" rated and all inflated to 80 lbs. The WDH is the Blue OX Sway Pro 2000.
