You are correct. Numbers don't lie. According to his numbers he added 780lb to the rear axle, 3580- 2800 = 780lb, and 40lb to the front axle,3420 - 3580 = 40lb, and 220lb to the TT axles, 4960 - 4740 = 220lb for a total weight of 1040lbs. Remember the 1300lb pay load. If this were the end of the story. He will be over loaded when he gets in the truck.
But it is the last set of weights that tell the tail. The no WDH weights. Rear truck axle weighs 2800lbs unhooked, and 4100lb with the TT just sitting on the ball. 4100- 2800 = 1300lbs. A 1300lb tongue weight? and remember he only has 1300lb of payload? Grass, or no grass. (don't know why you think grass makes a difference) something ain't right. I would suggest going back to the scales. The numbers don't add up. The tongue weight should not be that high. And I'm using his weights. Might want to redistribute some of the weight in the TT.
And yes looks matter. Most of us can glance at a TT, and TV on the highway and tell if it is setup right or not. The TV should sit pretty much hooked up, as it does unhooked. the TV tail should NEVER be lower than the front.
