So, how do you weight the trailer each trip?
Oh heavens trailer is not weighed every ttime...that would be a pretty onerous task....doubt anyone does that...thought I was pretty anal verifying TW each time...
As far as trailer weight, the trailer was weighed once all ready to go...typically travel the same each time..,,,.so I assume it is still in the neighborhood of that original measurement (this was just done last fall).
This trailer has 175 gallon fresh water tanks and they are a good bit forward of the axles. If I traveled with them full, the TW would go thru the roof and certainly exceed the hensley caapacity. Basically the amount of fresh water I can carry is limited by the TW the Hensley can handle. So I hook up the hose and fill to appropiate TW is reached....making sure I do not exceed the 1400 the hensley can handle
As far as mine, Gray 2 can also have a significant affect on TW. So the amount of fresh wateer I carry is a function of what is also in Gray 2. So I measure each time...Gray 1 and Black are on top of the axles so they affect TW very little.
