A lot depends if you have a single axle or dual axle.
Dual axle with independent suspension is supposed to be the best.
The trailer has 2 axles.
Fuel F-287
36'9"
Tow vehicle: 2020 GMC 3500 SRW standard bed with 4" lift (blocks in the rear)
I went to the scales last night and here is what I got:
Trailer was dry with the exception of 2 full 30 gal LP tanks. No toy loaded.
Trailer: 9180
TW: 1500
TV Front: 4580 (down from 4900)
TV Rear: 5440 (up from 3620)
Trailer Axle: 7680
Gross weight: 17,770
I'm not sure if a 6.5% weight reduction in the front is that concerning, but I can still do a couple things on the hitch to try and push more weight forward. I may also add some bags in the future to reduce the rear end sag a bit. The truck is lifted, so that makes it difficult to get it more level.
