I greatly appreciate everyone for your attention and time concerning in this matter, first of all. I partially agree with you that the tongue weight should be 10% - 15% of trailers total Weigh. But this is in case when the trailer is connected to the TV. This is my third trailer for last 15 years and I use the unit not more than 30-40 days per year (long weekends, vacation), however the rest of the time it stands on its axles with a weight of 800 pound exceeding the permissible weight on the axis, since the tongue jack during the parking stay period is just the support point. Therefore, many RV users have problems with the trailer’s axles and have to repair units at their own expenses, however this is the clear fault of the manufacturer which trying to save money on everything, including safety. My trailer is a regular travel trailer class and not a “destination trailer” (see photo below please). Unfortunately I do not have the funds to change a brand-new axles at my own expense, but I will do everything, including the court, to force the Jayco, Inc. to make a replacement and may be a new users will have a better situation in the future. Thank you everyone again for everything! Best regards, Leonid

Tongue weight is tongue weight, regardless of whether it is supported by hitch on tow vehicle or tongue jack or whatever. The weight on the axles does not change depending on whether it is hooked to truck or not.
