Bucky has the same 5th wheel that is measuring pin weight of 2,600 @ 11,600 pounds gross. If I use a 23% pin weight (high side) and keep 5th wheel weight at 12000 pounds or less that would equal a pin weight of 2,800? The total axle weight would be 6,000 if I stay at 12,000 pounds or less. At 12,000 pounds - 10,945 pounds I would have a carrying capacity of over 1,000 pounds. Am I missing something?
