WD Hitch Weight % Transferred
Obviously, the answer to my question is going to depend, but what is a good rule of thumb to use when estimating how much weight a WD Hitch will transfer from the hitch? Another thread recently sug...

Thanks for all the great replies.
Obviously I knew that it would depend, but was really just looking for a "rule of thumb" to aid in selecting a new travel trailer.
Based on all the numbers thrown around, it looks like it can vary from approximately 15-25%.
Bottom line is I feel comfortable that if my hitch weight doesn't cause me to exceed my numbers without the WD hitch, then a WD hitch will give me an additional 15-25% margin of safety. And if a particular TT puts me over my numbers without the WD hitch, then I need to actually do the calculations with real numbers.
Again, thanks for the info.
