My wife and I are looking to purchase our first TT and have settled on the Avenger ATI 27DBS. I'm in the process of doing all of my homework and working through all of the math to make sure my TV will be handle the TT. The brochure states the dry weight is 6652 lbs, the hitch weight is 721 lbs and the hitch weight percentage is 10.84% but from reading a lot of posts on here I know these numbers are generally lower than what you actually experience. My question is, has anyone else had experience with this particular TT and what were your actual weights and percentages you experienced? I know everyone's setup is going to be a little different, including my own, but I want to make sure that I'm basing my math on realistic numbers that people have actually experienced and not on brochure numbers.
Looks like the GVWR is around 9500lbs so a WAG on TW using 13% would be 910lbs(7000x.13) to 1170(9000x.13) and my money would be actual will be in the neighborhood of 1200lbs.
