Thomas,
I did not see your reply to #20 Home Depot prior to posting my previous message.
You made the following statements,
"A weight distribution hitch does not change tongue weight.", and
"This weight will vary depending on many factors but it will not be the exact same as it was when it was just sitting on the ball with no WD engaged."
Please tell me if I'm misreading this, but is seems that you now are disagreeing with yourself.
Thomas, please take another look at my initial post -- the one with the diagram. The diagram states that the WD hitch:
REMOVES 912# from the TV rear axle,
ADDS 612# to the TV front axle, and
ADDS 300# to the TT axles.
There is no mention of tongue weight. It could be zero. The WD hitch causes load to be removed from the TV rear axle and distributed to the TV front axle and to the TT rear axle. Is there any other way that I can try to explain this?
