I want to thank Ron here for posting this procedure. Today I took my rig to a CAT scale and got the weights. Here are the results. If anyone sees any adjustments I should make, I'm all ears, but to my untrained and inexperienced self, these look like they should.

front axle: 2540
rear axle: 2740
travel trailer axles: 3940
Weighing #2 (WD bars released but in place)
front axle 2300
rear axle 3040
travel trailer axles: 3860
Weighing #3 (Tow vehicle only)
