Took it to cat scales,
1st pass with wdh
TV 6340, tt5380, gross 11720
2nd pass w/o wdh
tv 6540, tt 5200, gross 11720
3rd pass tv with full gas tank, me and 2 kids (50lbs)
tv 5760
I thought she was going to split up the front and rear axles but she didn't
From this I have 780 lbs of tounge weight, which is 13% of the total tt weight (5980).
I am under my gvwr of 7000. by about 200 lbs when the other family members are added.
Does this setup sound okay? It drove great except for when a motorhome sped past me at 80mph, then it sucked the trailer around and that sucked. I was not running with a sway control system because I wanted to get the wdh set up correctly and not have the sway control mask any problems.
I have one question though, the gvw with the wdh is 200 lbs less than the one without, can I use the number with the wdh setup because that is how i am going to run?
