We had a successful first trip this weekend. I took the time to weigh it at our local cotton gin. I had to weigh front axle, pull forward and get combined weight of TT & TV and the. Pull forward and get weight of TT axke, then subtract to get the rear TV axle weight.
Without WD Hitch hooked up
Front - 3260
Rear - 4080
TT - 4940
Total - 12,280
WD hooked up (3rd chain link) more WD
Front - 3540
Rear - 3600
TT. - 5140
Total - 12,280
WD hooked up (4th chain link). Less WD
Front - 3440
Rear - 3760
TT. - 5080
Total. - 12,280
I went over my TV GVWR by 140-200 lbs depending on which chain link I set my WD hitch at but I had 2 kids bicycles, a cooler full of ice and maybe 40 pieces of firewood in back of TV. If I would move the cooler and bikes to the TT that would help that some. I feel good about my TV pulling this TT but I'm really glad I didn't buy the heavier TT that I initially wanted.
Thanks again for the help throughout this thread... Good times ahead for my little clan...
