Opinion on towing and weights
I have a dilema and need some help from the folks who know about weights and calculations please. I currently have a 24' HTT that we enjoy but I dislike the fact you can hear every little noise at nig...

park with tow vehicle front axle on one section, tow vehicle rear axle one middle section and trailer axles on third section.
In addition to the above, I recommend two more passes to determine actual TW and how well the WDH is adjusted. Weigh the tow vehicle alone, again each axle weight. And weigh the combo again without the WD bars in place.
Does you local Pilot have a scale? This is a good place to start. Otherwise, call them.
Rear axle of truck should be slightly heavier than front by bout 150lbs if your WDH is setup properly.
if GCVW is not exceeded and WDH is adjusted properly everything else usually works out.
I have never heard of either of those. Most half ton and smaller vehicles end up exceeding some their rating well under GCWR. WDHs are properly adjusted when the front axle weight matches the unhitched weight and the TT is level to slightly nose down.
