We have our trailer, a Shamrock 26RS. We have pretty much settled on a tow vehicle, a 2005 Nissan Armada. Now I'm trying to link those components together with a hitch.
When I'm shopping for hitches, I need to know actual weights. Well, I can't take it to a scale until I get a hitch. And I can't get a hitch until I know the weights. What to do? Do I just pick a number, say 90% of max cargo weight in the trailer? And then pick a number for tongue weight as well? I know what we are aiming for with tongue weight, but no way to know if we will hit that number until we get to a scale.
We haven't loaded the trailer yet, but even if we had, I can't safely measure tongue weight in its current location. It is parked on a significant slope and I'm afraid that if I tried to measure tongue weight, it would shift and fall off the scale setup.
I feel like I'm in a catch-22. Can't move the trailer until we get a hitch, but can't get a hitch until we take the trailer to a scale to weigh it.
