Man, you guys are losing me. But please answer me one question.
I have on order a new (my first) TT that is advertised as having a 510# dry hitch weight. I figure that means the weight as delivered without options as it sits separate from the TV. When ordering an Equal-i-zer hitch I assumed some additional weight for propane, battery, and items loaded in the trailer. I estimated about a 650# tongue weight and was told by Equalizer to get the 1000# bars rather than the 600# bars. Now the question - assuming the tongue weight (that's what the manufacturer calls it) ends up being 650#, will the tongue weight decrease when the weight distributing bars are engaged? Should I have got the 600# bars after all?
