Did the weights and I am ok with them.
Truck full of fuel...no hitch in receiver:6000 pounds Hooked up trailer today and weighted again: Truck with WD hitch and tongue weight...6900 pounds Trailer hooked up...6580 on trailer axle...
Forum Discussion
The numbers don't quite make sense and I would suggest a re-weigh and clarification of what was included in weighings. It might help to post just the numbers that appear on the scale tickets and let forum members decipher them.
1. The truck alone should include a full tank of fuel (done) and DW along with any pets, kids and any and all camping gear you would take for a camping trip plus the spring bars.
2. Truck and trailer to be weighed with WDH engaged and DW, pets, gear etc. in truck as above. The trailer must be loaded with anything and everything you would normally have for a camping trip (sewer stuff, BBQ, chocks, full tanks of propane, clothes, food, dishes, etc, etc.). Unclear on this one. Want steer and drive axle weights and TT axle weight.
3. Truck and TT with WDH dis-engaged and spring bars in truck plus everything in TT as in #2. Want steer and drive axle weights and TT axle weight. Unclear on this one too.
The data indicates gross weight of the TT is 7870 lbs. The listed GVWR of the Jayco is 8500 lbs. Whatever was loaded into the TT at the time of the weighing indicates that there is 630 lbs of CC remaining. If towing with a full tank of fresh water, there'd be little CC left so it may be wise to keep an eye on the gross weight over time so that the TT is not overloaded. If the TT wasn't fully loaded for camping, that would worry me.
The data indicates that the tongue wt. *might* be well over 1,000 lbs (1290??) but the info. is confusing and unclear. If the tongue wt. is near the upper range of typical tongue weight of 15% (our is around 14.5%), that could be close to 1200 lbs. It is possible that the tongue wt. is well over 1K lbs. Beside payload rating, there is also the concern of the receiver rating.
