How to determine hitch weight capacity
...when nothing in the door-post or the manual even mentions it? We know the hitch-weight of our TT, but when shopping for a TV, how can you know the maximum hitch weight it can take? There's no...
Forum Discussion
I've not read all of the posts...just answering the OP's question
The 'receiver' holds *ALL* of the weight from the hitch to the
trailer tongue. Depending on 'which' hitch...some have most of the hitch
weight on the TV's side of the ball...others on the trailer side
of the ball
If the 'hitch' weight is of concern because it may cross the ratings
line...then your TV is too small for what you want to tow, or your
trailer is too large for the TV you wish to use. Decide which is
more important to you..the TV or the trailer and add safety is in
that mix too
The 'receiver' capacity or rating is listed on the label on the receiver
