I was very hesitant to post anything on towing because I have seen people get eaten alive in these threads, which is why I wrote such detailed posts and repeatedly said that I had actually weighed my trailer.
It just galls me when people don't bother reading the whole post, jump to a conclusion, and then start ranting, using aggression to bolster their authority when they predicate their arguments on assumptions and old information.

It galls me when I see people asking for advice on a trailer get referred to old and heavy equipment, followed by the "get a real truck" rant that puts off potential new campers. A case in point is my the 2014 StarCraft Comet 1220 I traded in for my current TT. People could not believe it only weighed 1840 LBS.
In any case it is me who is ranting now and what I really want to say is thank you for clarifying your comments and the help you provided. I really do appreciate it.
