King pin weight
Have some questions on trailer weight and pin weight. We have a 2007 GMC 2500HD short bed 4x4. Just weighed it today on a CAT scale. Was loaded ready to go with generators extra propane tanks and fuel...

Your pin weight percentage is a little low for a 5th wheel. About 18.5 percent.
You may find the trailer will chuck and will not tow well.

I see 21%
2,800# pin + 10,520# axles = 13,320 5er GVW 2,800 / 13,320 = .21
I would be happy with that pin weight percentage. :)
Although it does look like the hitch may be behind the rear axle since it also took 20 lbs. off the front axle.
:S
Not enough coffee this morning!
Took trailer axles as total of TV, 2,400# on an AF is really a light pin!
