So let me get this right, you have a trailer with a dry hitch weight of 1000 lbs and you want to put 1400 lbs bars on it. Is that where you are going with this?
No. Please reread the Op. We bought a 2014 Salem. It has a TW of 954 lbs, a dry weight of #7900 and a gross weight of 11,000 ish. I'm liking the Reese Straight line We with DC sway control. I was just looking for help figuring out which one to get. Are we supposed to figure TW by 15% of the gross? Will 1200 lb bars be adequate or should I go with 1500? The camper being 11,000 ish declared the 1,200lb hitch will be maxed out. Thanks.. Phil
