Weight Calculations

My son has a Dutchman (24QB)24' 4500 lb TT. He wants to haul a 300lb motorcycle on the back of the trailer. How much will that motorcycle decrease tongue weight?
  • At most you are going to get some guesses on this one. To mathematically figure it out you would need exact length from the coupler to the center pivot point of the axles and from the pivot point of the axles to where the bike will be hanging on the rear. You will also need the weight of whatever apparatus will be used to hold the bike.
    I would also question the frame strength of the camper to have that weight bouncing around back there.
