But that kind of raises another question. When the TV specs say 1000 pounds max tongue weight with a WDH. Does that mean with the WDH in operation or does that mean the "dead" weight of the tongue? Like you might measure with a tongue weight scale.
Tongue weight does not change when you use a WDH.

The vertical load is equal to "tongue weight" minus the amount of load transferred to the TT's axles by the WDH.
