I thought of modifying the trailer and know someone who could do it
I hate cutting up a perfectly good trailer lol.
Not sure what would happen if an accident occurred and the insurance company found the modification though
I was wondering if there was a calculation for the length vs tongue weight.
Maybe I'm over thinking this.
If the receiver is rated for 500# tongue then a standard hitch with my 400# tongue weight would be 400#
If I extend it 12" do I still have 400# at the receiver or might it be 500# now?
