DP Weight distribution?
I have a 99 Harney on a Magnum chassis. It says by SMC on the tag, which I think I have figured out is Spartan. It has been great, but when it is windy, the front seems to get re-aimed a lot. Kind...

You may also want to weigh it with your trailer attached just in case that affects the front axle... just a thought.

Yes, any tongue weight will adversely affect front axle weight, as it adds more than its actual weight to the rear axle and SUBTRACTS WEIGHT from the front axle.
I didn't want to muddy the waters, but those weights are with the trailer attached. I don't have the without trailer numbers with me, but I recall about 350#'s difference on the front. Does the coach do better in the wind without the trailer? Yes. I'm sure that has to do with weight on the front AND a 28' billboard catching additional wind behind us. Adding my car in the trailer reduces tongue weight some, but not every trip is including both cars.
