Does a WDH transfer weight back to the trailer? seems counter productive to keeping a certain percentage of tongue weight.
Lance,
Yes, it certainly does. However, the actual tongue weight of the trailer, which is part of the reason a trailer might have a tendency to sway or not, does not change. Only the force on the axles of the truck and trailer are changed. The only way to actually change the tongue weight of the trailer is to load it differently, move the axles, or extend the tounge. Using a WD hitch does NOT change the tongue weight of the trailer. It only changes the effects of that tongue weight on the tow vehicle.
Hope this helps.
How a WD hitch works.Barney
