You know this because you've measured the trailer's gross tongue weight as the trailer would be typically loaded and ready to camp or are you pulling this number off a sticker somewhere? :@ Have you also weighed the trailer itself, ready to camp, so you know what the gross tongue weight to gross trailer weight ratio will typically average? :@ Can't really pick the correct WD spring bar rate 'til you have these numbers in hand.
Ok, that makes sense. Yes, I pulled the 880 off the sticker like a rookie. I can load the trailer and weigh it at the local dump. I'm so glad I turned to you guys for help. The local shop just threw something on the counter and said this will work. They didn't ask me any of these questions. Quote from last store "Why pay $1,000 when this one is the same for $350". I almost picked it up so I could get on the road this weekend, then I thought there has to be a help forum out there which led me here. In talking with you, I see that this takes time, thought and patience, not hurry and slap it on. I'll get actual numbers. I wouldn't be stuck between 2 models if I had hard numbers. I can't thank you enough for your time and expertise.
