Tongue weight & equalizer
I am buying a Ultra Lite 2702ws which has a tongue weight of 800 pounds. My dealer says that an equalizer will be able to reduce the tongue weight in half. Does this seem correct?

You two are arguing semantics. Ron, in his post, tries to distinguish between the terms "Tongue Weight" and "load". The reason for this is that many people (especially the new ones), because they have heard that a trailers tongue weight should be between 10 and 15% of the total trailer weight, think that that WD hitch will take some of that tongue weight away and make the trailer more sway prone. He put that in there to prevent that type of thinking. As he says, the "tongue weight" does not change. Just the "load" resulting from that tongue weight is re-distributed.
