All weights were same day, same load. I drove in with the WDH on and had them take Cat weight #1, then drove off the scale and removed the WDH but put the WDH pieces in the trailers front storage bin that's at the front next to the A-front, I then circled around and got Cat weight #2. Then drove off, dropped the trailer, and went back for Cat #3 with car only. Passengers and interior car loads never changed. I was also careful that all tires were situated on the scales in exactly the same places. The whole process (all three weights) took about 30 minutes and as I recall, no other trucks were weighed in between mine. So if 300 moved (180 to the front and 120 to the back) then how come the rear only lightened by 220? My best guess is the weight of the WDH pieces in the trailer accounts for 40 of that 120 and the scales misread the other 40. Other wise the the tongue weight calcs should have both been the same, not 580 and 540.
