Ok I have more wts and used the calculator that was linked. I also had a Reese dual cam sway control installed and question the correctness. Prior to install I was getting some wt distribution. Now I have same WDH wiith the dual cams but seem to not get any wt distribution
Here are my wts.
With WDH engaged.
Front. 2880
Rear. 3920
Trailer. 4660

The data suggest that a weight of approximately 240# somehow got moved from the steer-axle scale pad to the drive-axle pad between the "WDH not engaged" weighing and the "WDH engaged" weighing.
Is it possible that you were standing on the steer-axle pad during the "WDH not engaged" measurement, and were on the drive-axle pad during the "WDH engaged" measurement?
