TW% = 100*1320/(16220-7180) = 14.6%
The best way to get an accurate estimate of tongue weight is to measure the difference in weight of TV with TT attached and no WD applied minus the weight of TV without TT attached.
For both weighings, the TV occupants and cargo must be the same and must be located in the same positions.
TV weight when unhitched must include the WDH and bars.
