After my first weigh last week I removed things that were not necessary and adjusted my Equalizer hitch. Went to the scales this time with both kids and wife. Here we're the results:
TT and truck hooked up with WDH:
Steer axle: 4360
Drive axle: 4860
Trailer axle: 8020
Gross weight: 17240
TT and grick hooked up with NO WDH Engaged
Steer axle: 3940
Drive axle: 5360
Trailer axle: 7820
Gross weight: 17220
Truck by itself:
Steer axle: 4400
Drive axle: 3840
Gross weight: 8240
My tongue weight is 1160 virtually unchanged from first reading and is 13% of trailer weight
I got more weight on the steer axle. Now it is 500 lb difference when last week it was 760 lb difference.
Got trailer down to 8990 lbs from 9250 so I am happy about that. GVWR of TT is 9000lbs
