ok. I got all the weights. Here goes.
GCVW. 11500. max rating is 13000
GVW 6800. Max rating is 6800
GFAW. 3140. max rating is 3600
GRAW 3660. max rating is 3750
GTW. 5300. max rating for pulling is 7400.
tongue weight is 580. that's 11% of trailer weight.
this is with TV and trailer fully loaded with our gear, passengers, and full tank.
If you look here at my first CAT wts you can see I'm closer on the front axel and less on the rear. Before dual cam install. All other wts are close to same. Except tongue wt.
I dont know if the first #'s were right. Those are actual CAT weights and specs I have listed.
If those are your door tag numbers posted below you are over your rear axle limits..Yes it is. And it was not over prior to dual sway control install.
Im concerned with what you tire side wall says for may pressure and weight ratings. In any rate make sure you put mac PSI cold in those tires
edit.. found it.. Make sure you inflate to max..weight rating of the tires are 2535lbs each
Your only taking 80lbs off the rear with the wd hitch. You can do much better. Its not set up right INO..I agree. I alreadt had Reese WDH with trunion bars. First weights gave me some wt redistribution. I ordered the dual cams and had them installed. Now Im not getting wt distribution.
And there is no way that you were lighter with no WD hitch not installed compared to when you got it installed..No, you misunderstand. I already had WDH for first wts. Only the dual cams were installed prior to these wts.
did you get weighed with full gear , gas, and people? And last time without gear people and fuel?
