I read somewhere that the tongue weight should be a minimum of 10% of the trailer weight. So if the loaded Minnie is 5000lbs and my tongue weight should be 500 lbs? As you pointed out, even if I reduce my cargo to 400 lbs from 500, I'm still right at the border to the max?
Also, what is the best way to bring two electric bikes when you have a travel trailer? or if that's even an option?
A. Yes you’re technically correct. And by your statement, “you” should probably stick to or close to published limits if you don’t have the experience to know or recognize what may be an issue or what isn’t when it comes to towing in general. And in your statement you’re really not stretching any limits that would cause harm in and of themselves. But like you/we said, that’s aboot the max you’d wanna doo with that rig. From a payload standpoint.
B. Interesting question, but you could put them in the camper, no? Presuming they’re too pudgy for a roof rack on the car.
